Because I needed more info to see whether the bug came from a missing
dependency.

You're telling me to read the source.
So, what prerm and what postrm script are you referring to apart from
those automatically generated by debhelper?
apt-get source hotkey-setup and you'll see there are no such scripts,
only an init.d script.

Aaah. So please, would you be so kind and send a patch?
Because, again, there are no *rm scripts and the init script is not
calling invoke-rc.d.

Someone has sent a link to a workaround. Does this workaround work for
you? If so, I'll upload a fixed package with it.
I know this bug is annoying. But this is not a reason for being
aggressive.
