Bug#1135845: debian-security-support: postrm do not clean /var/lib/debian-security-support/

Package: debian-security-support
Version: 1:14+2026.04.30
Severity: important

Hi dear maintainers,

I noticed that debian-security-support does not
clean /var/lib/debian-security-support/ on purge.

Here is a extra-short that implements this
with help from dh-cruft.

dh-cruft has been available for many years
already so that would not hinder backportability.

Greetings

Alexandre

PS: here is also the generated .postrm so you can glimpse on it:


$ cat debian/debian-security-support/DEBIAN/postrm

set -e
# Automatically added by dh_cruft/0.9.80
if [ "$1" = "purge" ]
then
    # we need to glob, so no quotes
    rm -rf ${DPKG_ROOT:-}/var/lib/debian-security-support/
