The closest you might be able to get is to use dpkg -x to unpack the
archive directly. However, dpkg will not actually know that it is
installed. You could also build a custom version of the package without
the scripts. You can check out my page for a HOWTO describing package
customization:
http://familiasanchez.net/~roberto/?page=debcustomize
You could also install the package on another machine, remove the
scripts from where they are installed (or make them empty files) in
/var/lib/dpkg/info/, and then use dpkg-repack to rebuild the same .deb
package without the scripts.
