Package: mailman
Severity: minor

This I can understand,
dpkg - warning: while removing mailman, directory `/var/lib/mailman' not empty so not removed.
but these?:
dpkg - warning: while removing mailman, directory `/var/run/mailman' not empty so not removed.
dpkg - warning: while removing mailman, directory `/usr/lib/mailman' not empty so not removed.

(They are created when one follows the instructions during installation
about creating the first group, ("mailman".) Isn't that a filesystem
policy violation?)

P.S., No matter if one only selects zh_TW from the list on the
debconf installation screen, all one sees is
  Looking for enabled languages (this may take some time) ... done.
  Installing site language en ............................................ done.
(Apparently made in /etc/mailman.)
