What templates specifically are we talking about here?  If these are files
installed by the package, they should be deleted on purge via a list of
the specific files that might be installed.  If they're files that are
installed as part of running Puppet, aren't they in the wrong location?

I've only used 0.24, which doesn't install anything in
/etc/puppet/templates, so since I've not yet tried 0.25, I don't know the
exact background.
