uarg, just to make that clear: I used the wrong wording. The depends
are obviously not purged, otherwise the "problem" wouldn't exist.
Sorry for (maybe) irritating you in this point ;)

This is even more true, if (as it seems) the project agrees
that ucf database can be left altered when purging a package which altered
the database while ucf isn't around anymore.
