grr. I was hoping that was just happening to me.

At that point everything is fine, so you don't need to worry. The hang 
is at the end of the postinst, when some debhelper-generated shell calls
"/etc/init.d/pure-ftpd start". The init.d script starts pure-ftpd and
exits successfully, but the postinst goes zombie after that:

[orr](0) % ps axfw 
  PID TTY      STAT   TIME COMMAND
29349 pts/4    S      0:01          \_ dpkg -i 
/var/debian/standard/pure-ftpd_0.98.4-4_i386.deb
29366 pts/4    S      0:00              \_ /usr/bin/perl -w 
/usr/share/debconf/frontend /var/lib/dpkg/info/pure-ftpd.postinst config
29368 pts/4    Z      0:00                  \_ [pure-ftpd.posti <defunct>]

This is weird, because the only thing left in the postinst is:

        [orr](0) % tail /var/lib/dpkg/info/pure-ftpd.postinst
        # End automatically added section
        # Automatically added by dh_installinit
        if [ -e "/etc/init.d/pure-ftpd" ]; then
                update-rc.d pure-ftpd defaults >/dev/null
                /etc/init.d/pure-ftpd start
        fi
        # End automatically added section


        exit 0

Does anyone know what could cause this?
