One of the scrIPts (preinst, prerm, postinst, postrm) that may be included in a Debianbinary 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. (2000-05-31)
