Bug Description
A simple example with Location service:
1. Run HERE Maps.
2. Give it a permission to use Location service.
3. Uninstall HERE Maps.
4. Go to System Settings > Security & Privacy > App Permissions > Location.
5. You'll see an extra line(with no icon or application name) - this one stands for uninstalled HERE Maps. Same goes for any other app/permission. If you reinstall the app it will appear correctly in place with already set permissions.
I suppose this is not what we are waiting for. If I delete an app I want all it's permissions to be purged from db (and the entire app caches & data, to be honest). So, yes, if I reinstall the app again I will need to reconfigure it, set permissions, etc. But if I'm removing an app I KNOW WHAT I'M DOING, aren't I? This will keep system permissions (and the entire system) clean.
In this particular example I removed ~/.local/
