Title:
  motif-clients: unowned files after purge (policy 6.8)

Status in “openmotif” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in “openmotif” source package in Precise:
  New
Status in “openmotif” source package in Quantal:
  New
Status in Debian GNU/Linux:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [SRU] This fix was released in openmotif 2.3.3-7ubuntu1 in Raring.
  While I don't believe this warrants an SRU on its own, the debdiffs
  attached to LP: #1187507 fix the problem for Precise and Quantal.

  [IMPACT]
  After purging the package motif-clients, unowned files are left in /etc/X11/mwm.

  [Test Case]
  Install then purge motif-clients, verify that /etc/X11/mwm is empty.
  $ sudo apt-get install motif-clients
  $ sudo apt-get purge motif-clients
  $ ls -l /etc/X11/mwm/
  total 0

  On a system where the bug is present, the files menudefs.hook and
  system.mwmrc will be listed.

  [Regression Potential]
  Minimal: the fix only affects packaging.
