I have removed the offending confmodule call from my postrm.

The bug, however, remains, since ucf fails badly when ucf --purge is
invoked while debconf was already removed. I have filed this as
#418218 against debconf, and I don't think it makes sense to work
around this ucf bug in a package.

Greetings
