Execution of maintainer scripts and dependencies of package

[Ravi Roy <ravi.aroy@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I've a question regarding the package maintainer scripts (preinst, postinst, prerm and postrm) and dependencies of the package

I've a meta package where i've certain dependencies mentioned and i'm checking a config file in 'preinst' from a dependent package but is not found.

Question is : All dependencies of the package are installed and configured first then maintainers scripts are run or  ? 

Thank you

Regards

Ravi.
