Package: speech-dispatcher
Version: 0.5-3

Testing speech-dispatcher with piuparts, I get the following error:

0m8.5s ERROR: Command failed (status=256): 'chroot /tmp/tmp42DfqF dpkg
--purge --pending'
  (Reading database ... 6897 files and directories currently installed.)
  Removing speech-dispatcher ...
  Purging configuration files for speech-dispatcher ...
  In order to use the --remove-home, --remove-all-files, and --backup
features,
  you need to install the `perl-modules' package. To accomplish that,
run
  apt-get install perl-modules
  dpkg: error processing speech-dispatcher (--purge):
   subprocess post-removal script returned error exit status 255
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   speech-dispatcher

The postrm script uses "adduser --remove-home", and that requires
(nowadays) that it depends not only on adduser, but also on
perl-modules.

In addition, you need to do the removal of the user when the package is
being removed and not when it is being purged. You can only rely on
essential packages being available in the purge phase.
