Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package left unowned files on
the system after purge, which is a violation of policy 6.8 (or 10.8):

http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-maintainerscripts.html#s-removedetails

Filing this as important as having a piuparts clean archive is a release
goal since lenny.

>From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...):

1m11.9s ERROR: FAIL: Package purging left files on system:
  /etc/authbind/	 not owned
  /etc/authbind/byuid/	 not owned
  /var/lib/tomcat7/	 owned by: tomcat7
  /var/lib/tomcat7/webapps/	 owned by: tomcat7
  /var/lib/tomcat7/webapps/ROOT/	 not owned
  /var/lib/tomcat7/webapps/ROOT/META-INF/	 not owned
  /var/lib/tomcat7/webapps/ROOT/META-INF/context.xml	 not owned
  /var/lib/tomcat7/webapps/ROOT/index.html	 not owned

/etc/authbind/byuid/ could be handled by dpkg if the package would ship
an empty directory.

cheers,

Andreas
