Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package left unowned files on
the system after purge, which is a violation of policy 6.8:

https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-maintainerscripts.html#details-of-removal-and-or-configuration-purging

The leftover files are actually alternatives that were installed by the
package but have not been properly removed.

Filing this as important as having a piuparts clean archive is a release
goal since lenny.

>From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...):

1m8.4s INFO: Warning: Package purging left files on system:
  /etc/alternatives/waitress-serve -> /usr/bin/waitress-serve-python3    not 
owned

The preinst script already has the code to clean up the alternative,
but that does not get called because the preint script is never called
with the argument "configure". Please trigger this cleanup in "upgrade"
instead.

cheers,

Andreas
