I will at least apply the one line fix in the next release. For the future, I'd like to see support for a configuration directory. There would be some default entries, while add-on packages could drop entries into the "/etc/purge.d" (or whatever) directory, with customizations for any large temporary files the particular package generates. Long Term: I'd also like to see the configuration directory approach taken to logrotate (similar to my RedHat distributions, which already do this), and even inetd (switch to xinetd?). Using files in a configuration directory makes the seperation of configuration information into packages much easier, ideally avoiding any pre/post package install/remove configuration required (or at least limiting it as much as possible).
