We're starting to get more and more of these, which is fine, since that was why they were introduced. However, I'd like to remind everybody to not use bash for any postinstall scripts unless you absolutely have to and especially not for perpetual postinstall scripts. It is only slightly less troublesome to script for dash if your script doesn't use any bashisms, either set PATH=/usr/bin at the beginning of the script or use absolute path names for all executables.
Since a lot of the perpetual postinstall scripts check a condition to decide if they should do anything, I'd also repeat my recommendation to avoid forking subprocesses as much as possible (use builtins instead of /usr/bin/test for instance) and hand off to terminal executables via exec. This drastically increases the chances of things still working OK if something went wrong with rebasing.
