It is actually not maemo specific feature, it is more like a general
customization. (which seems to be missing from the dh_installinit
implementation right now).
>From the man page of that:
-o, --onlyscripts
Only modify postinst/postrm/prerm scripts, do not actually
install any init script, default files, or upstart job. May be useful
if the init script or upstart job is shipped and/or installed by
upstream in a
way that doesn't make it easy to let dh_installinit find it.
If no upstart job file is installed in the target directory
when dh_installinit --onlyscripts is called, this program will assume
that an init script is being installed and not provide the
compatibility symlinks
or upstart dependencies.
I thought it should eliminate the installation and I could do it
"manually" from the postinst script.

I have also tried this option, but I still get the /etc/init.d/cups
file somehow. :o I am not sure what I am doing wrong.
I hoped either this option you mentioned, or the "-o" should help to
not install anything, not /etc/init.d/cups either. It might well be, I
have just made some dumb mistake and it should work however. Anyway,
it would be nice if the installation path could be customizable in
case of the cdbs usage.
If nothing works, I think it is time to start thinking of the
debhelper usage, but I do still hope I did something wrong or I missed
something.
Thank you for your answer !
Best Regards,
Laszlo Papp
