Package: debian-policy Version: 3.7.2.2 Severity: normal Currently, "6.6 Details of unpack phase of installation or upgrade" says at number 4:
,---- | The new package's files are unpacked, overwriting any that may be on | the system already, for example any from the old version of the same | package or from another package. Backups of the old files are kept | temporarily, and if anything goes wrong the package management system | will attempt to put them back as part of the error unwind. `---- But the other parts of this error-unwind are not explained. The first thing seems to be that new-postrm is called with "abort-upgrade", and I guess that old-postinst is called with "configure" afterwards, but I don't know (since my postrm failed...)
