IME (I could be wrong, just messed around 'til I got dpkg exiting cleanly)
you have to drop the -q arg (this also makes sense if I read the function
correctly - I hope I am ;) and add an " || true" after that fgrep because
the maintainer script will otherwise almost always exit with an error code
(fgrep returning non-zero if /usr/X11R6/lib is the only directory listed
in ld.so.conf).

BTW. Thanks for the work on Debian - while I like whatever I do whenever
I get around to do it myself, I do love it when I get some appreciation,
whenever someone sends it. I think anyone working on X11 packages needs
it even more so than I do :)
