Manual page of dpkg-maintscript-helper suggests so:
Many of those tasks require coordinated actions from several maintainer
scripts (preinst, postinst, prerm, postrm). To avoid mistakes the same
call simply needs to be put in all scripts and the program will
automatically adapt its behaviour based on the environment variable
DPKG_MAINTSCRIPT_NAME and on the maintainer scripts arguments that you
have to forward after a double hyphen.
