Debian Policy 7.2 states 'The Depends field should also be used if the postinst, prerm or postrm scripts require the package to be present in order to run.' postgresql-8.1 depends on postgresql-common and thus its prerm script can rely on postgresql-common still being installed. Did you use --force-depends when purging postgresql-common?
