You have missed the documentation of the --install option that the postinst uses, it just copies the file from /usr to /var when the /usr file is newer than the /var file, it does not download any files. Previously the postinst was always force copying from /usr to /var, now it only does the copying when the /usr file is newer. I suggest that this bug be closed. -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
