OK, I'll do so.

I currently see no dependant scripts but if I have overlooked something we
should fix this dependancy.

While this is not necessary with the "inline-loop method" I intended to
set the variable POSTINSTHELPER=<script|none> and execute ${POSTINSTHELPER}
in case it is not none.

No, we do not really need this extra -dev. I think we go with the inline
method and forget my suggestion (until we might have a better use for a POSTINST
helper).

Better description of what I intended ... ;-)
Kind regards
