Heh. The postinst/preinst/etc. hooks are undocumented and it took me a
while to figure out that if one of them fails, you get to clean up the
mess by hand.
Having a tool like apt that actually fetches the packages you need for
you also helps.
Not that installing Debian GNU/Solaris would stand a chance at most
clients...
