Ah, so we're talking about the changes in 1.2.8, in fact. The postinst
already includes the following code:
if [ -e /etc/rc0.d/K90binfmt-support ]; then
rm -f /etc/rc0.d/K90binfmt-support /etc/rc6.d/K90binfmt-support
fi
Could you please show me the output of this command:
ls -l /etc/rc*.d/*binfmt-support
Also, roughly when was binfmt-support originally installed on this
system? The only change I'm aware of in the positioning of
binfmt-support's rc symlinks already has postinst code that's supposed
to handle upgrades, but the answer to this question might give me a
place to start.

Was the position of binfmt-support's rc symlinks ever changed by you or
by some services manager or similar, though?
