Hi, I believe apt should not be trying to remove /usr/local/bin directory.

dpkg: warning: while removing app-name, directory '/usr/local/bin' not empty so not removed

Hmm, when I remove my package, APT tries to remove the entire /usr/local directory.

I think this is by design with APT for DEB package, so there is nothing to worry about, you can check discussion at https://askubuntu.com/a/624961/937325
