I am sorry to hear that. However I have no clue, what would cause that,
since I have installed and uninstalled all versions of the package for
which I made a debdiff without problems.
Did you reinstall the PPA version or the official version?

I think that could be an option. But this way g-p-m would do nothing
even if powernowd is not installed.
Reviewing the postrm/-inst scripts I think it might not be at all
necessary to test for the presence of g-p-m. One could install the
mandatory defaults regardless of whether g-p-m is installed.
What HAS to be installed for this to work is gconftool-2.
