Research direction
Reproduce the failed apt removal on Ubuntu 20.04 and start with the Debian package's pre-removal script invoked by dpkg. Trace the service and autostart cleanup commands shown in the log; done means apt can remove automathemely without script errors and the package can be installed again.
