Package: meson
Version: 0.41.2-2
Severity: important

Hi,

when purging the meson package, the following files are not removed
properly:

/usr/share/meson/mesonbuild/wrap/__pycache__/wrap.cpython-35.pyc
/usr/share/meson/mesonbuild/wrap/__pycache__/__init__.cpython-35.pyc
/usr/share/meson/mesonbuild/modules/__pycache__/i18n.cpython-35.pyc
/usr/share/meson/mesonbuild/modules/__pycache__/__init__.cpython-35.pyc
/usr/share/meson/mesonbuild/modules/__pycache__/pkgconfig.cpython-35.pyc
/usr/share/meson/mesonbuild/backend/__pycache__/backends.cpython-35.pyc
/usr/share/meson/mesonbuild/backend/__pycache__/ninjabackend.cpython-35.pyc
/usr/share/meson/mesonbuild/backend/__pycache__/__init__.cpython-35.pyc
/usr/share/meson/mesonbuild/scripts/__pycache__/meson_exe.cpython-35.pyc
/usr/share/meson/mesonbuild/scripts/__pycache__/symbolextractor.cpython-35.pyc
/usr/share/meson/mesonbuild/scripts/__pycache__/__init__.cpython-35.pyc
/usr/share/meson/mesonbuild/__pycache__/mparser.cpython-35.pyc
/usr/share/meson/mesonbuild/__pycache__/mesonlib.cpython-35.pyc
/usr/share/meson/mesonbuild/__pycache__/dependencies.cpython-35.pyc
/usr/share/meson/mesonbuild/__pycache__/interpreter.cpython-35.pyc
/usr/share/meson/mesonbuild/__pycache__/coredata.cpython-35.pyc
/usr/share/meson/mesonbuild/__pycache__/optinterpreter.cpython-35.pyc
/usr/share/meson/mesonbuild/__pycache__/mlog.cpython-35.pyc
/usr/share/meson/mesonbuild/__pycache__/build.cpython-35.pyc
/usr/share/meson/mesonbuild/__pycache__/__init__.cpython-35.pyc
/usr/share/meson/mesonbuild/__pycache__/mesonmain.cpython-35.pyc
/usr/share/meson/mesonbuild/__pycache__/environment.cpython-35.pyc
/usr/share/meson/mesonbuild/__pycache__/compilers.cpython-35.pyc
/usr/share/meson/mesonbuild/__pycache__/interpreterbase.cpython-35.pyc

It looks like meson does not use the debian python helpers to properly
register and unregister the py files on installationa/uninstallation.
