Sorry to say it that harsh: I doubt anyone here will be able to help
you. We are focused on doing high-quality Debian packages. As you have
another goal, most people here will not even understand what your
problems are.
If you make Debian packages other people are supposed to use, please
consider doing proper postinst scripts that are targeted at Debian.
Even for different versions of Debian, postinst scripts may need to
differ a lot. I see no hope at all that anything that also works
elsewhere has any chance to be a proper postinst script. (If you have
some package specific tasks, consider creating some common helper
scripts to be called from the package scripts. That has the additional
advantage that users can also run them manually if needed).
Hochachtungsvoll,
