dpkg and /etc directories

[Christian Marillat]

Hi,

Why dpkg don't remove empty directories in /etc when purging ?
It is a dpkg bug ?

I received these bugs :

112513          /etc/sound/events                                              
112995          /etc/gnome                                                     
112994          /etc/gnome/config
113001          /etc/X11/sawfish/site-init.d
