deb-postrm - package post-removal maintainer script
=head1 SYNOPSIS
B<DEBIAN/postrm>
=head1 DESCRIPTION
A package can perform several post-removal actions via maintainer
scripts, by including an executable I<postrm> file in its control
archive (i.e. I<DEBIAN/postrm> during package creation).
The script can be called in the following ways:
=over
=item I<postrm> B<remove>
After the package was removed.
=item I<postrm> B<purge>

=item I<old-postrm> B<upgrade> I<new-version>
After the package was upgraded.
=item I<new-postrm> B<failed-upgrade> I<old-version> I<new-version>
If the above B<upgrade> call fails.
The I<new-version> is passed only since dpkg 1.18.5.
=item I<postrm> B<disappear> I<overwriter-package> I<overwriter-version>
After all of the packages files have been replaced.
=item I<new-postrm> B<abort-install>
If I<preinst> fails during B<install>.
=item I<new-postrm> B<abort-install> I<old-version> I<new-version>
If I<preinst> fails during B<install> for an upgrade of a removed package.
The I<new-version> is passed only since dpkg 1.18.5.
=item I<new-postrm> B<abort-upgrade> I<old-version> I<new-version>
If I<preinst> fails during B<upgrade>.
The I<new-version> is passed only since dpkg 1.18.5.
