Hi,

Not sure if this is a problem with piuparts or binfmt-support, but here goes.

piuparts testing of eclipse-cdt fails due to:

  --8<-- --8<--
1m23.0s DEBUG: Starting command: ['chroot', '/org/piuparts.debian.org/tmp/tmpXkuSc7', 'dpkg', '--purge', '--pending']

1m24.9s ERROR: FAIL: Package purging left files on system:
  /var/lib/binfmts	 owned by: binfmt-support
  --8<-- --8<--

I was suspecting it might be related to jarwrapper (an indirect dependency),
which uses binfmt-support.  However, jarwrapper does not fail the testing/emit
this issue.
