I think I have. The wording doesn't need to be overly alarming, but we should not say "if you do notice problems ...". It's in our all interest that problems *are* reported, even if the seem to be harmless. But who is going to decide whether or not a failing postinstall script is ok or not, if not we maintainers? So, "The following errors occured executing postinstall scripts. These don't necessarily mean that affected packages will fail to function properly, but please check /var/log/setup.log.full and report any problems." sounds about right to me.
