Package: zutils
Version: 1.7-7
Severity: serious

zutils fails to upgrade from 1.7-6 to 1.7-7 as follows for me:

Preparing to unpack .../60-zutils_1.7-7_amd64.deb ...
preinst called with unknown argument `upgrade'
dpkg: error processing archive 
/tmp/apt-dpkg-install-9FRsIU/60-zutils_1.7-7_amd64.deb (--unpack):
 new zutils package pre-installation script subprocess returned error exit 
status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
 /tmp/apt-dpkg-install-9FRsIU/60-zutils_1.7-7_amd64.deb

I suspect that this is caused by this change in 1.7-7:

  * Dropping temporary upgrade handling from 1.7-2, not needed anymore.

Probably too much has been removed from preinst.
