"The package maintainer scripts contain instructions on how to remove
the package. APT and dpkg absolutely rely on those instructions and can
not remove a package if they are broken. It is not safe otherwise,
neither is it clear *how* to remove the package."
That in itself is a security risk, because then a maintainer can make it
so that the package is not actually removed even if apt says it is, or
make the user think a package is uninstalled when it isn't.
"Please do not confirm your own reports."
I was only going by the status descriptions
** Changed in: apt (Ubuntu)
Status: Invalid => New
