jitsi-meet-prosody 1.0.1967-1 fails to uninstall on Debian 9.1

Error:

damencho: well obviously the prosody cannot be reloaded because it is not installed anymore.

I solved this issue by editing the file /var/lib/dpkg/info/jitsi-meet-prosody.postrm and changing:

   remove)
        if [ -x "/etc/init.d/prosody" ]; then
            invoke-rc.d prosody reload
        fi
    ;;

to

  remove)
        if [ -x "/etc/init.d/prosody" ]; then
            invoke-rc.d prosody reload || true
        fi
    ;;

This is still an issue - given the predictable demand for videoconferencing right now it really should be fixed.
