Bug Description

[Impact]
Unable to uninstall ceph* packages

[Test Case]
sudo apt install ceph-osd
sudo apt purge ceph-osd

[Regression Potential]
Minimal - we're dropping postrm maintainer scripts which only stop obsolete/removed init.d sysv scripts.

[Original Bug Report]
In Ubuntu Artful, when I'm trying to uninstall the ceph package, I get the following error:

sudo apt remove ceph-mon

It's similar to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ceph/+bug/1546112 but instead of ceph, that I can uninstall, the problem now is ceph-mon.

The ceph*.prerm scripts have snippets for stopping ceph daemons managed via the init.d scripts, which are no longer shipped by the Ubuntu packages.

The radosgw package does continue to ship an init.d script, so this will need to be retained for this package only.

uninstallation of ceph worked.
however, upgrading was difficult it required:

sudo aptitude -enter the package selector
Mark all upgradeable
then mark ceph for reinstallation due to it being held back - dependency problem)

result: it forces the system to use only latest packages and install them overwriting existing files
then after reboot.

then:
sudo apt remove ceph*
