thanks

I'm inclined to agree with Anton Zinoviev's view.  However, I don't
think this change should be made without more careful consideration as
it's a substantial and possibly destructive change to the existing
behaviour.

Note that the same rule should apply on reinstallation of a removed
but not purged package.  This would result in the perhaps
counterintuitive behaviour that installating a package which had
previously been removed would cause a file to disappear.

I think we should have a discussion (on debian-devel?) about this.
In the meantime this is not a very critical bug so I have adjusted the
severity.

Ian.
