maintainer script
<Debian> One of the scripts (preinst, prerm, postinst, postrm) that may
be included in a Debian binary package. These scripts may create and/or remove
symlinks, files or directories that, for some reason, could not be done directly
by dpkg. Maintainer scripts frequently create or update the symlinks in the
/etc/rc?.d directories and start, stop, or restart daemons.
