It's actually a preremove problem, not a postinstall problem. It looks
like the previous xfig package was missing its preremove script, which
would have removed the old Fig* files if they were unchanged from the
defaults. The new xfig does have such a script, so this shouldn't be a
problem in the future (assuming you manually copy the default files and
don't change them).
