Well, given this snippet, it is not enough. It will not be executed upon
upgrades.

Therefore, packages which remove the call to dh_installdefoma need to
add something like this in their preinst:

VERSION={first version with defoma being removed}
FILE=/etc/defoma/hints/ttf-lao.hints
if [ "$1" = remove ] && dpkg --compare-versions "$2" lt-nl $VERSION;
then
    if [ -x /usr/bin/defoma-font ]; then
        defoma-font purge-all $FILE
    fi
    rm_conffile $FILE
fi
