Sorry, but nothing in the postinstall is trampling as far as I can tell.
There is adduser and usermod which *may* cause the problem, yet I
couldn't reproduce it on my system. Further there is "test -d ...||mkdir
-p ..." which as far as my testing goes did also not produce what you
tell happened. 

Bottom line is, right now I cannot reproduce it. If you have any further
info where this comes from, please feed us more info what is actually
the lines that do need the fixing.
