If you check this link in your testing environment it won't work because you have no /opt/foopackage/foo but it will work after installing the package.

Wait, so users would have to install the package twice

As said, it is best to include the ls in the postinst install, that would be true optification

Just a heads-up, in the applications I have made, I only create a file in /usr/bin that executes the actual executable in /opt. Like, the file, say foo, in /usr/bin/ contains a one line command which is /opt/foopackage/foo which launches the actual application from /opt once that /usr/bin/foo file is executed.

How about that?
