This affects me too, the only way to make the package cleanly remove is to edit /etc/init.d/tspc and change it to simply be:
"#!/bin/sh
exit 0"
The cause is the package attempts to set up the ipv6 tunnel on removing the package, thus if the user didn't configure it before removing it, they can't remove it.
