Hash: SHA256

When removing or 'even' purging a linux-image-<version> package, it
reports the following issue:

rmdir: failed to remove '/lib/modules/<version>': Directory not empty

The reason for that is that there's still a ``modules.weakdep`` file.
It seems to me that at least with purging that file should be removed
and subsequently the ``/lib/modules/<version>`` dir.

FWIW: I do not have any DKMS package which could also result in the
inability to remove the modules dir.
