Subject: linux-2.6: Hangs while attempting to purge

Package: linux-2.6
Severity: serious
Justification: Won't uninstall cleanly

It hangs on this line of the postrm script:

my $ret = purge();

I can get it to work by deleting this line. Perhaps this is because a
debconf routine is being called after "stop" has been called? I don't know,
but anyway it's a serious bug.

This bug appears in linux-image-2.6.14-2-686 and linux-image-2.6.15-1-686,
and I assume in other flavours as well.
