man dpkg-divert

The ordinary user has nothing to know about them. The system administrator may 
ignore them safely (dpkg handles it). The package developer is the only one who 
needs to know.

I used diversions because I had to replace update in a proper way, allowing the 
removal of my package, for instance (with diversions, the original update is 
automatically put back in place).
