Thank you, alexander. I overlooked this. When using debconf,
maintainer scripts should not print to stdout. From debconf-devel(7):
Avoid outputting anything to stdout in your postinst,
since that can confuse debconf, and postinst should not be
verbose anyway. Output to stderr is ok, if you must.
Regards, Gerrit.
