A mis-behaviour of dpkg? I think the logic is supposed to be that dpkg doesn't warn until after postrm purge phase, since the maintscripts are supposed to act as a kind of dpkg "module" and the user shouldn't be bugged just because there's a config file which is not a conffile. Also added I think was that dpkg would keep reattempting removal of dirs at relevant times after the first attempt after the conffiles in that dir were removed.
