At least in theory, it's not safe. If python2.7-minimal is unpacked, but 
libpython2.7-minimal is not (yet) unpacked, then all pyclean can do is:

Could not find platform independent libraries <prefix>
Consider setting $PYTHONHOME to <prefix>[:<exec_prefix>]
ImportError: No module named site
dpkg: error while cleaning up:
    subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
