What does "not cleanly removed" mean?

I still had /etc/init.d/procps.sh on my system (up-to-date sid)
It was listed as conffile in /var/lib/dpkg/status and marked obsolete

Please see [1] how to handle conffile removals on package upgrades and don't
forget to clean up existing symlinks via update-rc.d.

That's pretty close to what I'm doing already, which is why I need to
know what is happening (or not happening).

Cheers,
Michael

I can't tell you anymore what was/is happening. I just noticed today that I had /etc/init.d/procps.sh still around on my system. I'm running a debian unstable system and do regularly upgrades. I can't really remember anymore when procps was upgraded. Where there any intermediate releases which didn't have the exact same preinst/postinst logic?
