foo-dirclean is implemented in a generic way in the package
infrastructure, so there is no problem with foo-dirclean and it should
be kept, IMO.
The main problem with foo-uninstall and foo-clean is that it had to be
implemented by each package, but it was barely tested, especially
during package bumps.
