And with Fremantle coming, that's something I want to do.

Postinst/preinst/etc are very easy, all you need to do is make sure that your scripts are set to executable and stored somewhere, then add them directly as arguments to the p object. For example, in flipClock I've got:

Code:

p.postinst = "control/postinst"

the extra code in the wiki just seems to be to make sure that the script gets the execute permission set on it; if you've already done that first then you don't need the extra stuff...
