I mean, all errors in prerm-rmdir should be ignored and not just the ones because of non-empty directories. Also, according to http://release.debian.org/etch_rc_policy.txt (section 5c) this is a release-critical bug. Any subdirectories created in the /usr/local hierarchy must be created and removed with mkdir and rmdir in postinst and prerm; and the scripts must not fail if those commands fail. Packages must not rely on the presence or absence of any files or directories under /usr/local.
