I'm currently working on gem2deb to provide support for setup.rb. I
think it would be better to wait for it and let setup.rb run the
postinstallation scripts the way they should, rather than by
specifying them manually. This way, we know we won't diverge from
upstream.

It unfortunately isn't ;-)... See #625558.

I was planning to wait until gem2deb with setup.rb support is out to
switch to newer packaging policy, but feel free to upload in the
current state if you wish. But I eventually will use gem2deb's
setup.rb support to Do The Right Thing (at least from my point of
view).
