whereami does not uninstall cleanly

[AO]

Binary package hint: whereami

Installed whereami and uninstalled again using Adept Manager. It left the hook script /etc/dhcp3/dhclient-exit-hooks.d/whereami

This caused NetworkManager to go into an infinite loop. I'm reproducing the error here so people know the symptoms and don't spend ages trying to troubleshoot NetworkManager when its not the problem.

The hook script should be removed on clean up. I don't think its a duplicate of https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2044 as it is still here for a start.
