In Ubuntu we've applied the following patch:
  * debian/puppet-common.postrm:
    - On purge delete all puppet directories: /etc/puppet, /var/log/puppet and
      /var/lib/puppet.

IIUC /var/lib/puppet isn't deleted when the puppet package was purged
because it would break puppetmaster. Now that common files are shared
with the puppet-common package, purging the puppet package shouldn't
break puppetmaster anymore. 

Moreover log files should be removed when the package is purged.
