Bug Description

I get errors trying to uninstall touch packages.

"rmdir: failed to remove '/var/lib/qtdeclarative5-qtmultimedia-touch-plugin-diverted': Directory not empty"

In addition to that error, some diversions are left alone even after uninstalling. These problems together prevent clean dist-upgrade to the Qt 5.2 PPA: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/6866549/ (note not all dpkg-divert --remove:s there are needed it seems, around 5 of them really remove lingering diversions).

seems the packages use .postrm for removing the diversions ... that smells a bit wrong as dpkg-divert would try to operate on non-existing files this should likely be .prerm instead

ogra, the files actually do exist from the original package and need to be de-diverted; postrm is fine, there's a renegade postrm that needs fixing
