The new-version is passed only since dpkg 1.18.5.
postrm disappear overwriter-package overwriter-version: After all of the packages files have been replaced.
new-postrm abort-install: If preinst fails during install.
new-postrm abort-install old-version new-version: If preinst fails during install for an upgrade of a removed package.
The new-version is passed only since dpkg 1.18.5.
