It looks like this:

#!/bin/sh

set -e
#set -x

. /usr/share/debconf/confmodule
. /usr/share/dbconfig-common/dpkg/prerm.mysql
dbc_go postfix-policyd $@

# Automatically added by dh_installinit
if [ -x "/etc/init.d/postfix-policyd" ]; then
        if [ -x "`which invoke-rc.d 2>/dev/null`" ]; then
                invoke-rc.d postfix-policyd stop || exit $?
        else
                /etc/init.d/postfix-policyd stop || exit $?
        fi
fi
# End automatically added section

I don't see a "dbc_go" command anywhere?

My scripting skill is very basic, but enough to get a rough idea of what
most scripts do.

I have postfix-policyd 1.80-2.1

Thanks
