I see, that is true, and there are more directories like that. It comes from the fact that I assumed that using dpkg-maintscript-helper will remove empty directories, too, which it doesn't. I am cloning this bug and reassiǵn to dpkg so that this might get implemented. dpkg maintainers: After removing a conffile it might be useful to add rmdir --ignore-if-empty $(basename $file) or whatever you are using. For the TeX Live packages, this is a problem now, because I really don't know how to autogenreate it. I will look into it.
