Analysis of the upgrade logs and further discussion on IRC shows that
it's infeasible to fix this in samba. The problem arises when perl-
modules is unpacked without libperl5.12/perl-base, and then samba is
unpacked. Moving the update-inetd code from the postrm to the prerm may
help in some cases, but not in this one, because whichever maintainer
script tries to call update-inetd, the modules will be unavailable to
perl at that point.
Fixing update-inetd to be more robust (i.e., to not require perl-
modules) would help for the future, but would not help for the present
upgrade problems.
I think the only way to fix this reliably is via update-manager.
