Should just note here that dpkg is quite nuanced in how it removes packages compared to rpm: There are two states: normal removal of a package doesn't remove any configuration files. That's so you can reinstall a package and not have to reconfigure it. So called "purge" removes the configuration files too. I would think the same thing applies to removing generated data -- that there should be 3 states: remove just the package, remove the package and generated data, or remove the package and generated data and configuration files.
