Yes, I recommend to take a similar policy to database packages : - rrd & meta-data (/var/lib/munin/**) should be treated like DB data : only removed "manually" - munin & plugin configuration (/etc/munin/**) should be treated like DB engine config : removed on "purge" - plugin states (/var/lib/munin-node/plugin-state/**) should also be treated like DB engine config : removed on "purge" - anything else should be treated like DB engine : removed on "remove". The idea is to avoid removing data that has a value, and data that remains should remains usable (ie: with its metadata). Removing plugin state should not be automatic, but not retained at all costs, as one expects a "clean" reinstall after purge, specially on a node.
