Simpler version:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
# postinst (preinst, etc...) for package foo-dev
# package related stuff
log_stuff() {
echo $@ | logger -p local6.info -t "pkg:foo-dev"
}
log_stuff "
Package foo-dev may need some configuring before you can use it too
full potential"
if [ some test ]
then
echo "There was a problem with blah blah, you need to edit it manually"
log_stuff "There was a problem with blah blah, you need to edit it manually"
fi
# end postinst

I hope that future is not too far away, and I would hate to ask
developers to modify all their postinst's twice..
