maintainer script
     
         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}.
