No, I can tell you from recent experience that the packaging manual's
example for diversions is wrong.
The postrm example is correct, but the preinst one isn't.
The preinst should be:
if [ install = "$1" -o upgrade = "$1" ]; then
dpkg-divert --package smailwrapper --add --rename \
--divert /usr/sbin/smail.real /usr/sbin/smail
fi
It's also been suggested that --rename is potentially harmful.
