This situation is covered if you upgrade the ulogd package, which is a
transitional package that depends on ulogd2, rather than just installing
ulogd2. This will remove ulogd's postrm script, which will prevent it
from removing the log directory.

Modifying files under /var/lib/dpkg/info is not something I'm prepared
to do, and is most likely a very serious policy violation.
