I would suggest not doing either. Moving files around under dpkg's nose is IMHO Bad (and will confuse things like cruft), and although it's unavoidable sometimes, such shenanigans should be _very_ limited. Why not just have the file in /usr/doc/iptraf and run it from there in the postinst? Oh, and please remember to check your arguments in the postinst.
