Have you actually tried doing this? The prerm does indeed do
the check, and asks for confirmation. Why should we kludge dpkg?
And a hard refusal is wrong, anyway. I have in the past booted
machines from a floppy (though kernels are getting too big for that
now), and that should be allowed behaviour.
