In this case it shouldn't matter. All postinstall / preremove scripts are intended to be run by (and are in fact run by) /bin/sh, aka ash, regardless of what shell you choose as a user. Now if you're saying that you're going to remove ash then yes, expect a whole buttload of stuff to break. But if you just switch to tcsh as your default shell but leave ash sitting around as /bin/sh, then everything should be fine. The same thing goes for scripts used by packages (for example ssh-host-config) because they all reference /bin/sh or /bin/bash in the shebang, and so as long as you don't do something silly like remove ash or bash then you're fine.
