[Bug 881806] Re: icecc does not remove cleanly

[Rolf Leggewie]

I looked at the postrm script in both lucid and precise to spot any
significant difference but there doesn't seem to be any.  Since it's the
source-call to /usr/share/debconf/confmodule that's to blame, here.  I'm
fully aware that the bug is only in icecc OR debconf and most likely not
both, but I'll add a debconf task here for the devs to have a look and
decide where the problem may be.

Bug description:
  icecc 0.9.4-2 in lucid does not remove cleanly here.  FWIW, I tried a
  simple "sudo aptitude install icecc && sudo aptitude purge icecc" in a
  precise virtualbox environment and that worked without a problem. So,
  it may be that either the latest release is not affected or some cruft
  needs to build up before this problem shows up upon purge.
