Hi
I hear that desktop-base uses "sync" in the postinst and that it has a valid
reason for doing so. That being said, the postinst does not have any inline
documentation/comments clarifying it.
It might also be prudent document the consequences of (or even emit a
warning if) eatmydata (or similar) is used.
