I thought about that. However,
a) two different packages installed that file, and removing the file
in postinst would leave the second package in an unusable state if
only one was upgraded,
b) I did not want to leave the removal of the file in the postinst
scripts of the packages, since the installation of
/etc/organization was a temporary aberration; later versions
should probably not touch that file (even if it exists) in case it
has been installed as a part of a user installed software package,
c) the versions of the packages in question did not receive a wide
circulation, being limited to the alpha-test archive.
However, if it is deemed worth the trouble, I could upload a
new set of revisions whose psotinst files delete the deprecated
/etc/organization file.
