Yes, the prerm script is being run before the fixed initscript is 
replaced, so without --oknodo it fails if the daemon is not running...

Any idea what's the right approach to fix this problem?

The only thing that comes to my mind right now is to replace (temporarily)
dh_installinit's standard snippet in the prerm, ignoring errors -- which 
looks utterly wrong to me for obvious reasons.
