Bug#340194: vdr-plugin-dvd: unclean uninstallation

[Lars Wirzenius]

Package: vdr-plugin-dvd
Version: 0.3.5.2+0.3.6b03-10

Testing vdr-plugin-dvd with piuparts, I get the following error (some
others too, but those aren't vdr-plugin-dvd's fault):

0m13.2s ERROR: Package purging left files on system:
  /var/cache/vdr
    owned by: vdr

This seems to be because postinst installs a symlink to /dev/dvd in that
directory, and removes it in postrm when the package is being purged.
Unfortunately, that is too late. You need to remove it already when the
package is being removed, otherwise dpkg will try and fail to
remove /var/cache/vdr, which then results in a bit of cruft on the
filesystem.
