I have pushed a fix for this. The old version of the postrm may still be
called. Since the faulty code never made to a stable release, I don't
think this is worth fixing it. In your case, you can edit
/var/lib/dpkg/info/exabgp.postrm and remove the following line:

 dpkg-maintscript-helper rm_conffile "$f" -- "$@" ; fi
