What message is that exactly and how does the prerm script look like?
The one my only current daemon package has basically looks like this:
# Automatically added by dh_installinit
if [ -x "/etc/init.d/spampd" ]; then
if [ -x "`which invoke-rc.d 2>/dev/null`" ]; then
invoke-rc.d spampd stop || exit 0
else
/etc/init.d/spampd stop || exit 0
fi
fi
# End automatically added section
Is that the same with your package? If yes, then the message you report
should just be a warning, but the removal should still work. Otherwise
it would help to see the prerm script generated for your package.
I wonder though: the prerm script I quoted above doesn't give any
message, so the only source for that message would be _your_ init
script. I can't see any such message in it though:

One problem exists with init scripts which don't return 0 when called to
"stop", but AFAIK, that doesn't affect package removal.
What you obviously can do are these alternatives:
1) don't use dh_installinit but copy your init script manually and
create the link in /etc/rcS.d manually in your postinst script.
(and remove it in postrm)
2) use dh_installinit, but remove the generated prerm script afterwards
in debian/rules
