are the examples for diversions are wrong, or do I miss something?
dpkg-divert has to be called for an upgrade as well and for the purge
of a package as well.
if [ install = "$1" ]; then
dpkg-divert --package smailwrapper --add --rename \
--divert /usr/sbin/smail.real /usr/sbin/smail
fi
if [ remove = "$1" ]; then
dpkg-divert --package smailwrapper --remove --rename \
--divert /usr/sbin/smail.real /usr/sbin/smail
fi

As was pointed out, the packaging manual is usually correct, so I'm
closing this bug report.
