Please propose another solution. From the two solutions I know -- - removing old package's postrm - depending on the transitional package first works and is transparent for the user, while second is annoying - again, for the user. Note the "another package" is the actually same, just older/renamed. BTW, I can check for the version of autofs5 too, to ensure it is << 5.0.6, before removing the postrm script.
