[Pkg-octave-devel] Bug#339959: octave2.1-info: does not remove alternatives

Package: octave2.1-info
Version: 2.1.72-1

When testing octave2.1-info with piuparts, I get the following error:

0m7.1s ERROR: Package purging left files on system:
  /etc/alternatives/Octave-FAQ.info.gz
  /etc/alternatives/liboctave.info.gz
  /etc/alternatives/octave.info.gz
  /usr/share/info/Octave-FAQ.info.gz
  /usr/share/info/liboctave.info.gz
  /usr/share/info/octave.info.gz

This would seem to be because the prerm or postrm scripts don't remove
the alternatives created by the postinst.
