Any ideas how to remove definitively the entry from the package database?
Thanks for any advice Guido Lorenz
sudo dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq postgresql-python-py22
This should take care of it.

Thank you for the immediate answer. I tried it out, resulting in the following error:
dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq postgresql-python-py22
dpkg - warning, overriding problem because --force enabled:

reinstall it before attempting a removal.
