This is strange; unless I find out that the woody and sarge files differ
only in that one line, I must suspect a script from some other package.

And what does "Inst" mean, then: unpacking for later configuration, or
in fact "install", so that the postinst would be called at once?  I
assume the first, otherwise there'd be very strange things happening on

But that's probably not relevant for this bug.
