One user showed up today (Sunday, Nov 28th) in telux installation
party, wondering why he has many debs in rc (== RemovedConfigured) state
in his Debian derivative installation. He was told he can cheerfully 
purge those packages. This is wrong. He should throughly check that 
those packages don't have side effects, like a uid that other packages
use. I am not sure what is the best method to carry on those
verifications. Does a dry run of the post remove script sufficient? I
guess that the easiest solution is to leave those packages as they are.
  That user said he doesn't read linux-il. On the other hand, Eddie
Aharonovitch seems to know him. He also seem to be participating on
some forum. For Eddie Aharonovitch, that user was the one with the
laptop that Eddie showed interest in.
