That's correct. If somebody has changed the system defaults I don't want 
overide these.

Hmm... I have not changed the system defaults: the Fig* files were put
there (/etc/X11/app-defaults) by previous installation of XFig (3.2.4),
which was the first I did for Cygwin-1.7.

So, if now they are not overwritten and XFig complains about them, it
looks a little strange.

It's actually a preremove problem, not a postinstall problem. It looks like the previous xfig package was missing its preremove script, which would have removed the old Fig* files if they were unchanged from the defaults. The new xfig does have such a script, so this shouldn't be a problem in the future (assuming you manually copy the default files and don't change them).
