DESCRIPTION

12       A  package  can  perform  several  pre-removal  actions  via maintainer
13       scripts, by including an executable prerm file in its  control  archive
14       (i.e. DEBIAN/prerm during package creation).

25              If the above upgrade fails.
26

28           [ removing old-package old-version ]
29              Before  package is deconfigured while dependency is replaced due
30              to conflict.
