Deinstalling should not fail if fonts are not installed

[Florian Diesch]

Binary package hint: ttf-mathematica4.1

When deinstalling ttf-mathematica4.1 the prerm script calls '/usr/bin/defoma-font purge-all ' to remove the fonts. That fails if the fonts aren't installed properly. So you can't deinstall the package if the fonts aren't available, e.g. because you don't have internet or because the download doesn't work (see bug #299427).
