[Linux] CLI tries to delete /usr/local/bin on uninstall

See original GitHub issue

When I removed the crowdin-cli (v2.0.24) via sudo apt remove crowdin I received the following warning:

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

It’s good that dpkg did not delete the folder and this just appears as a warning. But a package should never delete the /usr/local/bin folder completely.
