Package: apt-show-versions
Version: 0.08
Severity: normal

After

# apt-get install apt-show-versions
# apt-get --purge remove apt-show-versions

files are left in /var/cache/apt-show-versions (dpkg complains about
this while purging).

Installing and then purging a package should leave no garbage in the
file system (cf Policy 10.8, which explicitly specifies that all log
files must be removed when purging).

Because the cache will be unconditionally regenerated by the postinst
script anyway, it does not make sense to keep it around even if the
package removed-but-not-purged.

Please provide a prerm script that will remove the cache files.
