This.

As a last ditch, your prerm script is in

  /var/lib/dpkg/info/<your-package>.prerm

So you can "just remove it" or insert some "exit 0" at an appropriate
place.

*BUT*

as Nicolas says, perhaps the script is trying to do something useful
and can't, for some reason. So understanding that might improve your
installation's integrity and longevity ;-)

Plus, you might discover a bug in the package, who knows.

Cheers
