Ok, I'm not a lintian programmer, but a buggy script gives buggy output
I would say ;)

Since postrm is never called with "deconfigure" (policy 6.4), 
this can be removed and then lintian should not warn any more.

But there is a bug in the description of this warning:
It says "Ref: policy 9.1.1", but it should be
"Ref: policy 8.1.1" since this is the section, where ldconfig is
described.
