I always thought this was useful information; it made it easy to see in
upgrade logs from users when a postinst script was being run (and while
it was a bit inconsistent, postinst scripts are usually the most
interesting case so this was OK).
Would you please reconsider this and reinstate the blank line when a
postinst is run?
