 I saw it in the debhelper changelog:
debhelper (5.0.44) unstable; urgency=low

[...]
  * prerm and postrm scripts are now generated in a reverse order than
    preinst and postinst scripts. For example, if a package uses
    dh_pysupport before dh_installinit, the prerm will first stop the init
    script and then remove the python files.

 It's more logical in this way, but perhaps it should have been delayed
