Hi First of all I guess the debconf interactivity has to stay as restarting Quagga can potentially lead to a loss of internet connectivity and when acting as router is just too important to be upgraded among other packages. So my guess was that people have the package on "hold" as they have e.g. postgresql on a database server. Then it would make no difference if it's stopped in the prerm or postinst. But I think about it :)
