don't purge directly, but remove and do purge at the end
If we want a package to be purged from the system tell dpkg in the ordering (if it has to touch it explicitly) to remove it and cover the purging of the config files at the end with a --purge --pending call. That should help packages move conffiles around between packages correctly even if the user is purging packages directly in big actions like dist-upgrades involving many packages.
