Hello,
Please backport yada-0.48 to fix a bug in phpmyadmin (yada prerm generated script is buggy), so phpmyadmin cannot be removed cleanly.
https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/phpmyadmin/+bug/5904
The fix was introduced in 0.44:
[yada]("http://packages.debian.org/src:yada") (0.44) unstable; urgency=medium
* Generate debconf header for preinst and prerm scripts.

I've build yada-0.48 using pbuilder, builds fine and is installable, and phpmyadmin build using this version works fine.
Thank you
