[Pkg-mailman-hackers] What to remove on purge

[Thijs Kinkhorst]

Hi all,

I've just fixed mailman to be able to be cleanly purged again on a default 
install, but wondered the following: mailman currently does not purge cleanly 
if you have mailinglists and/or archives.

To me it would make sense to just rm -rf /var/lib/mailman on purge. The user 
has said (s)he doesn't want mailman anymore, so keeping any lists or archives 
does not seem useful or expected to me. If the user wanted to keep such stuff 
(s)he would have just removed the package.

What do you think? rm -rf /var/lib/mailman on purge or not?
