First, thanks a lot for looking at this. Fact is I don't have much time at
this moment to be able to fix this, and I've never had to deal with
maintscripts directly, so I feel a bit like I'm going to break something if
I do, specially within the freeze period.
Is there any chance you can submit a complete patch for fixing it?
Second, which I also found scary from your comments: how can this be tested?
Just running piuparts with the new package?
thanks in advance and best regards,
