Yes of course (I actually call the uninstallation script at preremove).
But the question is "do we dare installing a driver just because the
user asked for package installation?".
The problem is that libusb-win32 might be pulled as a dependency of
another package (the upcoming brltty package for instance), in which
case the use may be really be aware that some driver will get installed.
Maybe I could ship two separate packages: one for the library and one
for the driver, and automatically install the driver at postinstall of
the second package.
