Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: mrtg
It's my understanding that when removing packages with --purge the
package should also remove configuration information but not user data.
In the case of mrtg, it removes everything inside /var/www/mrtg, the
usual location to store user data. Please can the postrm script for
purging be adjusted so that data is not deleted as part of the purge
unless confirmed by the user (as is the case when purging MySQL server).
Steps to reproduce:
1. Install MRTG
2. Add some new data sources and graphs
3. apt-get remove --purge mrtg
Expected bahaviour:
1. Removal of MRTG binaries
2. Removal of MRTG configuration
Current behaviour:
1. Removal of MRTG binaries
2. Removal of MRTG configuration
3. Removal of entire /var/www/mrtg folder
** Affects: mrtg (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
