It's basically down to whether pkg_setup has to be run with the same system state as pkg_preinst / pkg_postinst. If arbitrary changes to the live system are permitted between pkg_setup and pkg_preinst then the rules I gave are too strict. But I suspect that arbitrary changes will cause breakages to quite a few packages, and given that there're fairly nice solutions even with the stricter requirements, I'd say that the safe rules are better. -- Ciaran McCreesh
