Guess it needs a rmdir /usr/lib/fglrx/etc in the packaging script? Or rm -rf perhaps.

I've already fixed this bug in the upstream installer and I plan on backporting the fix.

This bug was fixed in the package fglrx-installer - 2:8.861-0ubuntu3

---------------
fglrx-installer (2:8.861-0ubuntu3) oneiric; urgency=low

  * debian/fglrx.dirs.in:
    - Make sure to create the /usr/lib/dri directory (LP: #807347).
  * debian/fglrx.postrm.in:
    - Do not fail when trying to remove only the files in
      /usr/lib/fglrx (LP: #807092). We don't want to remove the
      /usr/lib/fglrx/etc directory unless we're using --purge
      remove, otherwise user settings will be lost.
  * debian/rules:
    - Make sure that the copyright file is installed after it's
      generated. On some systems this wasn't guaranteed to happen.
      Thanks to Felix Kuehling and Mabel Lee for reporting the
      problem and for debugging the issue on the affected systems.
    - Use the multi-arch path for xorg extra-modules (LP: #807209).
