Yes I compile with make-kpkg.

I compare /var/lib/dpkg/info/linux-image-2.6.14-2-k7.postrm 
with /var/lib/dpkg/info/linux-image-2.6.22-1-k7.postrm and scripts are not so 
different.
I copy /var/lib/dpkg/info/linux-image-2.6.22-1-k7.postrm 
to /var/lib/dpkg/info/linux-image-2.6.14-2-k7.postrm and change only the my 
$version variable.
dpkg purge complete successefully and I think that maybe solved the problem.
