When I sign the file manually after installation, then the postinst
script runs fine, so I added the signing to the build scripts. Now I
have the following wired problem: 

When I check the signatures after dpkg-buildpackage has run I get: 

the assembly installed in debian/tmp report 

   sn -v tmp/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gdcm-sharp.dll 
   ... 
   Assembly tmp/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gdcm-sharp.dll is strongnamed.

but the one in the package preparation reports  

  sn -v libgdcm-cil//usr/lib/cli/gdcm-sharp-2.6/gdcm-sharp.dll
  ...
  Assembly libgdcm-cil//usr/lib/cli/gdcm-sharp-2.6/gdcm-sharp.dll 
  is delay-signed but not strongnamed

So it seems that one of the dh_* scripts run after dh_install removes
the signature.  

In fact dh_makeclilibs already reports 
  dh_makeclilibs: 
   debian/libgdcm-cil/usr/lib/cli/gdcm-sharp-2.6/gdcm-sharp.dll 
  has no valid signature, ignoring


Consequently, the postinstallation script fails.
