[php-maint] Bug#871900: Bug#871900: php-common: does not remove cronjob in /etc/cron.d/php when purge remove

[Ondřej Surý]

Fabri,

conffiles are automatically removed by dpkg.

Could you please list all the steps to reproduce the error?

You said that you have removed "php5", but the cronjob is in php-common
package and it has the mechanism to walk through active installed PHP
versions.

Cheers,
