Right; try compiling with a #DEBHELPER# in all your scripts, and don't pass
--noscripts to any debhelper command.  Read the generated maintscripts, and see
if there's anything useful (people should always read them, really).  debhelper
will create scripts from scratch as if they contained just

#!/bin/sh
set -e
#DEBHELPER#
