Having 2 versions of rc-scripts is causing
cross triggering: remove one of those 2 packages

Packages won't trigger on themselves: having 2 versions
of rc-files is causing cross-triggering.

Meanwhile triggerpostun is usually _NOT_ the right
place to fix anything (no matter what PLD has been doing).

Its rather unusual to expect
a script to run after all package contents -- including
the trigger script -- have been removed.
