Hi Guillem,

it would be great if dpkg could improve handling of directory removal
for stretch.

Another case I just encountered:

* pkg v1 ships /etc/path/conffile
* pkg v2 does dpkg-maintscript-helper rm_conffile /etc/path/conffile v2~

dpkg tries to remove the directory during unpack, but fails since it is
not empty. nevertheless the package no longer owns the directory.
after postinst configure has run, /etc/path/conffile is gone and
/etc/path is finally empty, but no new attempt on removal is started

PS: udev/jessie ships /etc/modprobe.d/fbdev-blacklist.conf, udev/stretch
does rm_conffile it
