Title:
  ucf --purge reaches code where basename doesn't have a parameter

Status in One Hundred Papercuts:
  Confirmed
Status in ucf package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When I was clearing up unpurged packages, grub-pc was not being purged because of an error "basename: missing operand".  Looked at the code and "ucf --purge /etc/default/grub" was bailing out at line 472, which has the code:
      old_mdsum_file="$source_dir/$(basename ${new_file}).md5sum";
  Looking at ${new_file} at the code above, sure enough, it wasn't being initialized at purge (line numbers 349 - 374).  So I changed the else to test if $new_file was there and I was able to purge grub-pc.
