So instead of the ctrl-c stuff, run ps fax in another console, and look
to see what maintainer script is running (postrm or postinst probably)
and what program it's run that's hanging (maybe update-menus?)

Then see if you can reproduce the hang running the same program by hand,
strace it, and send in a bug report on it.
