I usually do a manual "aptitude full-upgrade" every day.

>From time to time, I happen to remove packages: in that case I usually
purge them with "aptitude purge", but I see that their dependencies are
not purged, only removed.  Maybe I removed or purged a package that had
systemd-shim as a dependency, or maybe a full-upgrade removed it without
purging it.

Anyway, I just did:

# aptitude purge systemd-shim
The following packages will be REMOVED:
  systemd-shim{p}
0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 to remove and 2 not upgraded.
Need to get 0 B of archives. After unpacking 0 B will be used.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n/?] 
(Reading database ... 903812 files and directories currently installed.)
Purging configuration files for systemd-shim (7-1) ...
No diversion 'diversion of /usr/share/dbus-1/system-services/org.freedesktop.systemd1.service to /usr/share/d\
bus-1/system-services/org.freedesktop.systemd1.service.systemd by systemd-shim', none removed.
Processing triggers for dbus (1.12.10-1) ...

and now /etc/dbus-1/system.d/org.freedesktop.systemd-shim.conf doe not
exist any more.

Should you need to know the contenst of any files before this operation,
just ask and I will recover them from backups.

Thanks for maintaining this
