Bug Description

$(dpkg-query -W -f='${Conffiles}\n' | grep obsolete | awk {'print $1'}) reports /etc/gtk-2.0/im-multipress.conf as an obsolete config. However, its removal results in DPKG errors upon package removal. This suggests packaging that installs the file in a way that is not compliant with Debian Policy for configuration files management.
