Normally setups should be wrapped in a check for a file or directory in
package (not a conf-file). Eg.
(if (not (file-exists-p "/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/gettext"))
(message "Package gettext-el removed but not purged. Skipping setup.")
;; setups here ...
)
There's differences among debian packages in the exact way this is done
(and sloppiness in a few packages :-) but basically variations on the
theme.
(I think this is purely a debian matter, not a bug-gettext.)
