The purpose of linux-check-removal is to prompt for confirmation when
you attempt to remove a package. It depends on
$DPKG_MAINTSCRIPT_PACKAGE being defined, which will be the case when it
is run from a package maintainer script.
There is no reason to run it directly from a shell. I should probably
have put it under /usr/libexec instead of /usr/bin to make that more
obvious, but it would be hard to change that now.
Ben.
