for the love of flying spaghetti monster please no :)
a purge should only remove files that were installed by the package or
otherwise incidentally generated in FHS compliant locations. data created in
users' home directories is definitely outside such a scope. i.e., if dpkg
couldn't put files there, it shouldn't try to remove files from there.
