[Bug 1054442] Re: Failed piuparts at purge because does not remove pyversions.pyc

[Dmitry Shachnev]

I've submitted this change to Debian, but it is going to be reverted
because according to Section 6.5 of the Debian Policy
(http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-maintainerscripts.html),
prerm is called only as:

- prerm remove
- prerm upgrade […]
- prerm remove in-favour […]
- prerm deconfigure in-favour […]

It never gets called as `prerm purge`. I believe this is the case in
Ubuntu as well, so I see no reason to keep this change in our delta.
