I don't have time to do this now but I'll try to take a look at it.
If I don't get back to you, please remind me :-).

No, not really. I noticed some error handling code in your postinst
and wondered whether it got all of the cases right etc. Error
handling is often itself buggy, I find. So since I didn't have time
or knowledge right then to review your code in detail I thought I
would at least point you to the relevant bit of the specification.
