        Given how a usual .postinst script is written, its repeated
        execution isn't expected to do any harm.

        AIUI, the .postinst scripts may be re-executed with
        dpkg-reconfigure(8).  The --all option may be handy, as well as
        the --frontend=noninteractive and --unseen-only ones.
