Hello,

[ Reason ]

As detailed in Bug#1134497, some USB braille devices are confused with
USB uart adapters, and in that case accessibility support gets installed
and enable. It is not that much a concern per se (though it's getting
fixed by asking an additional question in the installed). The concern
is that when the user requests to remove the thus-installed brltty,
orca, and speech-dispatcher packages, the graphical gdm login banner
does not show up any more. This is because the debian installer sets up
a orca-dm wrapper configuration snippet to enable screen reading at the
gdm login stage, but when the orca package is removed, the configuration
remains, and gdm then refuses to start. This fixes it by removing that
configuration snippet on package removal.

[ Impact ]
If a user installs Debian with a USB uart adapter and later on tries to
remove the orca package, the gdm login banner doesn't show up.

[ Tests ]
This was tested manually

[ Risks ]
The code is trivial.

[ Checklist ]
  [X] *all* changes are documented in the d/changelog
  [X] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
  [X] attach debdiff against the package in (old)stable
  [X] the issue is verified as fixed in unstable

[ Changes ]
This just adds a prerm script to remove the configuration snippet
installed by the debian installer.
