Dear Maintainer,

I noticed while browsing Debian Code Search that
this package creates /var/log/rancind with debian/*dirs.

This makes it piuparts compliant;
becasue piuparts does not actualy run the packages;
but I guess that after some real world usage of
this package there would be some files in this directory.

Please ensure that these directories are cleansed on purge.

This can be handled by a full blow  .postrm script
or with a short debian/rancid.purge file
& a dependecy on dh-sequence-cruft.

Greetings

Alexandre
