Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: nginx
sudo aptitude remove nginx
results in:

Removing nginx ...
Stopping nginx: nginx.
Stopping nginx: invoke-rc.d: initscript nginx, action "stop" failed.
dpkg: error processing nginx (--remove):
subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 1
Starting nginx: nginx.
Errors were encountered while processing:
nginx
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
A package failed to install. Trying to recover:
Reinstalling the package made no difference.
Note that the failure of the removal script automatically starts the
nginx service, even when it is not started prior to running the removal
script. I regard this as a security risk. YMMV.
