Looks to me that the process is failing to set the debconf key
'quagga/really_stop' to false. The scripts are below...

Here is the *new* prerm script:

#!/bin/bash -e

. /usr/share/debconf/confmodule

if [ -n "$DEBIAN_SCRIPT_DEBUG" ]; then set -v -x; DEBIAN_SCRIPT_TRACE=1; fi
${DEBIAN_SCRIPT_TRACE:+ echo "#42#DEBUG# RUNNING $0 $*"}

# Trying to prevents the user from cutting his network connection...
db_fset quagga/really_stop seen false || true
db_input medium quagga/really_stop || true
db_go || true
db_get quagga/really_stop || true
if [ "$RET" = "false" ]; then
  db_stop
  echo "As requested via Debconf, the Quagga daemon will not stop." 1>&2
  exit 1
fi

#DEBHELPER#

And the template file:

Template: quagga/really_stop
Type: boolean
Default: false
_Description: Do you really want to stop the Quagga daemon?
 WARNING: The Quagga routing daemon has to be stopped to proceed. This
 could lead to BGP flaps or loss of network connectivity.

Hope this helps.
