Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package left unowned files on
the system after purge, which is a violation of policy 6.8 (or 10.8):

https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-maintainerscripts.html#s-removedetails

Filing this as important as having a piuparts clean archive is a release
goal since lenny.

>From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...):

1m5.5s ERROR: FAIL: Package purging left files on system:
  /etc/systemd/system/display-manager.service -> /lib/systemd/system/slim.service	 not owned

The init-system-helpers was installed at purge time. That would usually
perform the neccessary cleanup, but since this din#t happen the package
might not use the helpers - maybe it should switch to using them.


cheers,

Andreas
