Generally, you don't, since generally there's no reason to do so. I can't
say I've ever had any reason to want to do that in any of the Debian
packages I maintain.
If you do need that information, substituting it into the postinst during
the package build is the way to go.

Debian generally does not use user-defined control file values.
