If I simply wanted to remove old configfiles i would use rm :) But that what 
you describe is actually the the normal life of any configfile, that's why I'm 
quite sure that I there is a way to tell dpkg that this and that configfile is 
now outdated...

I found in the meanwhile:
dpkg-maintscript-helper rm_conffile 

but this didn't delete the files. Or do i have to add this to every helper 
preinst,postinst and postrm to work?

Regads,

sandro
