Hello, This behavior seems to me to be the proper one given that Debian Policy requires the removal of conffiles when a package is purged (ยง6.8.5). The dpkg(1) manpage also seems to indicate that this behavior is correct: "The package is selected to be purged (i.e. we want to remove everything from system directories, even configuration files)." I could, however, see it being useful to give the user an additional warning when removing certificates that are still valid. " 'm not sure when I'll be able to tackle this, but I'll change the ticket over to a wishlist item to reflect that so I hopefully don't forget. Sincerely, -- Harlan Lieberman-Berg ~hlieberman
