I maintain a game which saves its high score in /var/games .
It creates /var/games in its postinst to avoid dpkg -r
"directory not removed because it is not empty" warning.
What is the right way to uninstall /var/games in postrm on purge?
Problems:
1) The package should remove /var/games on purge if necessary because,
unlike /var/log, /var/games is not a part of base-files .
2) There may be a game such that:
* it saves its high score in a file in /var/games, not in
a subdirectory under /var/games
* it does not create a file in /var/games until the first entry
of the high score is saved
If such a game is installed, any other game should not remove
/var/games even if /var/games is empty.
