# This is the default postinst file from the blends-dev package which is used
# in all meta packages. If there is a certain need to provide extra
# postinst files for some meta packages this template will be appended. Thus
# it will be checked whether debconf was just initialized.
#
# You should not insert the _DEBHELPER_ template in the special postscript
# file because it is in the end of this template anyway.
# summary of how this script can be called:
# * <new-preinst> `install'
# * <new-preinst> `install' <old-version>
# * <new-preinst> `upgrade' <old-version>
# * <old-preinst> `abort-upgrade' <new-version>
# for details, see http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ or
# the debian-policy package
