I cleaned out my system with debfoster, but unfortunately the
package "menu" is stuck. I earlier remembered a way to force at
package out with dpkg. But man or google can't make me remember..
# aptitude purge menu

So can anyone remember that "magic" dpkg command that clears any
defiant package. :-)
I am not at my Debian machine, so I can't double check, but I think you
need "dpkg --force-purge". (Careful with that! Check the man page.
Search "force-thing".)
HTH,
