severity 819705 critical
quit

`rm -rf` is a mighty tool, and must be wielded with extreme care.
firmware-b43-installer's use isn't too dangerous, but the fact remains
its use *must* be in *prerm* not *postrm*.  A theoretical future package
which desired to replace firmware-b43-installer (something akin to what
#819136 proposes), conflicting would be insufficient since a purge of
firmware-b43-installer could happen after that package was installed at
which point /that/ package would be broken.

According to jcristau on IRC, the correct release-critical severity is
"critical" for this behavior.
