It seems this is done unconditionally in postrm. The attached patch
works for me; I'll do some more cleanups (lintian warnings, etc.)
before seeking a sponsor.
Since the version in Lenny is also affected, I'll also prepare a
minimalistic "pu" upload and will ask the release team for their
opinion whether a stable update is warranted.
