** Description changed:

  [SRU] This fix was released in openmotif 2.3.3-7ubuntu1 in Raring.
  While I don't believe this warrants an SRU on its own, the debdiffs
  attached to LP: #1187507 fix the problem for Precise and Quantal.
  
  [IMPACT]
  After purging the package motif-clients, unowned files are left in 
/etc/X11/mwm.
  
  [Test Case]
  Install then purge motif-clients, verify that /etc/X11/mwm is empty.
  $ sudo apt-get install motif-clients
  $ sudo apt-get purge motif-clients
  $ ls -l /etc/X11/mwm/
  total 0
  
  On a system where the bug is present, the files menudefs.hook and
  system.mwmrc will be listed.
  
+ [Regression Potential]
+ Minimal: the fix only affects packaging.
