[Bug 392143] Re: package postgis can't be purged if postgresql is not installed due to missing directory

[Jean-Baptiste Lallement]

Fabrice, here is the answer from Debian maintainer regarding the removal
of the link in postgis.postrm

"[...] That link is there to allow an upgrade path from one postgis
version to another (with the same postgresql version), the purge should be done only 
if one is interested in cleaning all postgis versions to do not use postgis anymore, 
it should not be removed when a specific postgis edition is purged (which could happen
if admin would be too hasty in doing its homework). I think this way of doing the
thing is a bit more safe, indeed."

However, now that it's fixed upstream we can sync from Debian (note that
latest postgis doesn't build on armel and mips) and I backported the fix
to Karmic.
