and yes, it will not erase your old config files, but that isnt a bug, its a feature...
if you want to clean then up, erase then your self, let not any script destroy users info, let the user decide WHAT, WHEN and HOW to destroy things

and by the way, you can use swaret and others to fetch packages, and to those you have to compile, dont forget to use checkconfig if you want to manage that software as a normal package

like always, the admin decides what and how to do, not the machine or someone else
