Package: dpkg
Version: 1.14.16.6
Severity: wishlist

Currently, purging a package does not remove it from
/var/lib/dpkg/status. Over time, purging a lot of packages can cause the
status file to get very crufty, and I can't think of a reason to keep
purged packages in there, so they should really be removed.
