Hi Steve,

Your diligence is missing from Debian, but good to see that you are
still around.

 You are right and I don't know why it was put there in the first
place in November, 2006. Its postinst uses dpkg-statoverride on
/bin/fusermount but for that time dpkg guarantees all dependencies to
be in state unpacked at least.
Going to make the mentioned change after some testing.
