Certainly. You cannot expect ucf being present when sudo or sudo-ldap
is being purged.

Brrr. There is no guarantee that any ucf data are there, and if they
are present, they may be horribly outdated.

How about merging sudo-ldap into sudo? At least the rationale for the
split given in debian/changelog (see 1.6.8p12-1 entry) does not seem
very convincing these days (autobuilders do not use sudo anymore AFAIK,
and libldap-2.4-2 has a popcon of 88%, suggesting that the additional
dependency is not a problem for most users).
Cheers,
Sven
