https://salsa.debian.org/smcv/glib2.0-control-files has the full history.
`git log -p postrm` confirms that the only things the postrm has ever
done in versions known to snapshot.d.o are:
- deleting gschemas.compiled, which is what we want to avoid here;
- deleting giomodule.cache, which is what we want to avoid here;
- running ldconfig, which is handled by triggers now
So I think removing the postrm is viable.
