Hi,
There is something missing here. Some packages create files in
postinst precicely because they do not want dpkg to handle these
files. Examples of this are score files and other data/configuration
files.
If the maintainer intended to have dpkg be aware of these
files, they could have created zero length files in the forst place
(letting dpkg know) and then, if needed, manipulated them in the
postinst.
In no case should it ever be required for the postinst to
appent to the info/*.list files (apart from being horrendously
dangerous).
