purging maas\* leaves /var/lib/cobbler and /etc/cobbler populated

[C de-Avillez]

I have been trying to zero in another bug (bug 987961), and had to (purge, reinstall MAAS) some times. I noticed that I can only actually add a node after a reinstall *if*, before I reinstall, I 'sudo rm -rf /var/lib/cobbler /etc/cobbler'.

I have no idea which of the two directories interferes, did not have time to check.

ii maas 0.1+bzr482+dfsg-0ubuntu1 Ubuntu MAAS Server
un maas-dhcp <none> (no description available)
ii maas-provision 2.2.2-0ubuntu4 Install server
ii maas-provision-common 2.2.2-0ubuntu4 Cobbler Install server - common files
ii python-django-maas 0.1+bzr482+dfsg-0ubuntu1 Ubuntu MAAS Server - (django files)
ii python-maas-provision 2.2.2-0ubuntu4 Install server - python libraries.
un python2.7-maas-provision <none> (no description available)

Packging bug - re-assigning.

MAAS in precise (-updates) no longer uses cobbler, for this reason I'm marking this bug as won't fix.
