I'am unable to purge the package due to an wrong .postrm script because
I have uninstalled the linux-image-2.6.22-6-generic before purging the
package linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.22-6-generic.
I think postrm script needs to check if the correspondents linux-
image-2.6.22-XXX are installed or not.
Proposed patch (or something like this):
