Package: splashy
Severity: serious

While removing/purging splashy, dpkg complains that it can't remove
/lib/splashy because it still contains files, which are:

pluto:~# ll /lib/splashy
total 12
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 690 Jan  2 03:15 0-progress
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 887 Jan  2 03:15 2-progress
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 690 Jan  2 03:15 6-progress
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root  23 Jan  2 03:15 S-progress ->
/lib/splashy/2-progress

You should add a preinst script, which cleans the directory, so dpkg can
remove the directory safely. Otherwise the files will be left rotting on
the hard disk.

I'm filing with severity serious, because imho it is a policy violation,
if a package is not correctly cleaned from the system after
deinstallation/purging.

Cheers and happy new year,
Michael
