Probably true.

I do like this idea because it cuts down on the number of questions
raised, and it can also solve the problem of how to upgrade a game where
the score file format changed.
Only problem is, a lot of these games use binary files for their
score files, and the postinst would have to have enough code in it to
recreate that. Or it could copy a blank scorefile in from elsewhere, I
suppose.
