The problem lies in the postinst. It changed away from testing for the
hardcoded pathname /usr/bin/update-menus to
which update-menus
but the argument to -x is not quoted. A simple patch is:

Otherwise switching to a debhelper based packaging using
dh_installmenu, will replace the right snippet in the postinst as
well.
