Thanks.  I have just opened a bug for this so I don't forget to fix it.

I have been meaning to ask Miquel about this.  We didn't change the way
these files were generated, so this bug must (?) have been there before
Petter and I got involved.

The statement about the FHS is not true.  I'll override this.

Bogus, since the postinst uses its own updaterc function.  Lintian should be fixed.

Also bogus.  Lintian should be fixed.  I've just filed the report.

These should be fixed upstream.  I have written him (Miquel) but haven't
received a reply.

Thanks a lot for the help!
