[0] Reading the postinst, this seems to be when a certain file is missing. What ever happened to this file? And there are certainly better ways to deal with this than asking for a manual re-install...I don' think so. This is a neat trick, in fact. The reinstall costs you nothing, since you already built the deb file.
Don't underestimate the difficulty of upgrading a bunch of heavily interdependent packages to a new version that has many new files and files moved around to different places. I think this upgrade went comparatively smoothly. Other packaging systems would just remove everything, including all the packages depending on these ones, and reinstall from zero.
