The postrm includes:
if [ -f /usr/share/dbconfig-common/dpkg/postrm ]; then
. /usr/share/dbconfig-common/dpkg/postrm
dbc_go movabletype-opensource $@
fi
My understanding is that this should take care of the dbconfig
purge actions.
dbconfig-common has a debconf question on package purge about removing
the database. I assume that piuparts, run non-interactively, accepts the
default 'no', resulting in the behaviour discussed in #511034. Since that
bug is tagged wontfix, I'm doing the same here, since I don't think there
is anything I can do short of going behind dbconfig-common's back to remove
the database which it's managing.
