One thing in my favor was this was a remote machine, so I installed the applicable packages on my local machine, replaced the missing config files the script was looking for, and then ran the apt-get install <package> --reinstall on the 3 courier components, then removed all with out a hitch. phew!
Won't do that again :)

Hi, Tony!
Apparently, there's no --force option to dpkg/apt. So my advise is to edit the pre-removal & post-installation scripts by hand.
No. Bad day, too, I guess. This won't work.
``apt-get install <packagename> --reinstall'' and deinstallation afterwards should work, as somebody else suggested in this thread.
