Nice way to have the same snippet for all scripts :-) > The lintian warning in question appears to make some sense. > > So now I'm not sure what to do with this... Perhaps ignore it. I'm not exactly sure what the right way is here. There is a long discussion in #7xxxx (that 5-digit bug mentioned earlier) and as I understood there might be cases where "prerm remove" is not being run and therefore we should try to clean up again in "postrm remove|disappear". Maybe lintian should not issue this warning is there is corresponding code in the prerm, too. BTW, in case you ever remove something from @ARCH@, you should use something like @REMOVEDARCH@ and remove the obsolete alternatives in postinst (after adding the new ones) and pre/postrm. Out of curiosity: what was the difference in alternatives setup between wheezy and sid that caused this upgrade bug?
