This very much looks like an issue with the combination of dash with
wwwconfig-common then. Reassigning to both so that the respective
maintainers can investigate and reassign to the one package at fault (I
don't know whether this is dash's fault, or wwwconfig-common's).
Since dash is also not a shell people normally use, severity is minor.
Please in the future do list that you use dash, as it is a non-standard
shell known to cause numerous issues with postinsts. Withholding that
information only delays debugging of the problem.
