If the purge fails, try removing its postinst and try again.
John, I have no idea what happened exactly. All I know is that #429486 happened first. The buildd might have tried to install/remove some packages before I noticed the problem. And then when trying to remove all packages, one of them failed to remove. So apt-get -f install install all those packages again, and I think it was at that point I got the error. I don't think purging the package worked at that time, but don't ask me why. I know that I couldn't either install or remove all the ghc6 related package the normal way. There is probably a bug about that somewhere too. There is probably some corner case in your maintainer scripts that you're not covering properly, like what happens when remove/purge fails.
