I'm not sure that it's a case of deploying a "default lab", rather
clearing up any static labs that were created whilst the package was
installed; I think the comment in the postrm means "default lab
location", particularly given the content of the remainder of the
comment.

fwiw, it only became the postrm in 2008.  Previously the code was in
prerm but wasn't working (see #489860).
