Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package left unowned files on
the system after purge, which is a violation of policy 6.8 (or 10.8):

http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-maintainerscripts.html#s-removedetails

Filing this as important as having a piuparts clean archive is a release
goal since lenny.

This is expected, as /var/lib/pluxml/data is meant to contain user data. Removing it could be a terrible mistake, as if removing a MTA removed /var/mail.

These specific files you got here are the default content, generated during installation, which may or may not have been modified by the user before the package removal.

To address the problem, you can notice that I put a debconf question, asking the user whether or not he wants the data to be removed on package purge.
