Just to be clear, your preinst looks like it'll try to install the
script at /root/debian/scripts-bd/script.sh into /opt. Unless of course
dpkg changes its current working directory.

If you're trying to install a script from the debian directory of
the package source, you can't do that in preinst, as the .deb has
not yet been unpacked. You instead would have to have sucked that
script into the preinst and catted it back out into /opt/ or
whereever. And then it would be outside dpkg's knowledge.

Mind you, my bizarre-o-meter is currently off in the red, suggesting
that you may be having a problems with the wrong solution to whatever
the problem is.

Of course Pacman didn't influence us as kids. If it did,
