Mh, could you report the issues you discovered with starting mailman3 in
separate bugreports? Is it mailman3-core that fails to start, or the
UWSGI daemon in mailman3-suite? What's the exact "cron errors" you get?

Well spotted. The apache-maintainer-script needs to be sourced at higher
level.
I just uploaded mailman3-suite 0+20170523-10 that fixes this problem.
In the meantime, to fix your local system, you can do the following:
1. Add this snippet to the beginning of
/var/lib/dpkg/info/mailman3-suite.postrm:
if [ -e /usr/share/apache2/apache2-maintscript-helper ]; then
. /usr/share/apache2/apache2-maintscript-helper
fi
2. Comment out/remove the following line from
/var/lib/dpkg/info/mailman3-suite.postrm just before "apache2_invoke
disconf mailman3.conf":
. /usr/share/apache2/apache2-maintscript-helper
Afterwards, you should be able to remove/purge mailman3-suite from the
system.
Cheers
