Maintainer script

<Debian> One of the scripts (preinst, prerm, postinst, postrm) that may be included in a Debian binary package.

These scripts may create and/or remove symlinks, files or directories that, for some reason, could not be done directly by dpkg.

Maintainer scripts frequently create or update the symlinks in the /etc/rc?.d directories and start, stop, or restart daemons.
