Are you sure? As far as I can tell, the purge option should only be
used by dpkg when all of the conffiles are removed as well. If you
are overwriting all of the files in the non-ssl package, then the
postrm should be called with the 'disappear' argument instead. This
may be something to bring up on debian-dpkg@lists.debian.org.
