Package: debian-policy
Version: 3.9.1.0
Severity: minor
The example provided in Appendix G of the DPM regarding the removal of
diversions doesn't work if the file diverted is a conffile. This is
due to the fact that conffiles are not removed during a "remove", but
but only during a "purge". As a "purge" implies a "remove" beforehand
(the postrm script is called twice), the example will fail even on a
"purge" with dpkg-divert refusing to clobber the existing conffile.
IMO a footnote should be added alerting the user to this fact and
providing a solution for this special case (use "purge" instead of
"remove" as the first test).
