A bit late but..

the core problem of dpkg extracting all the game data to root filesystem first, before package scripting can take effect.
The script preinst is called if no older version or no conflict found before unpacking

Also there is this option:
dpkg --instdir /path/to/datas datas.deb

Just a few ideas...
