This is exactly what they are -- configuration scripts.  In each case
they are scripts only because there may be a need for the administrator
to edit them.  The directory name is misleading it seems, it should be
'config'.  They are similar to /etc/default and /etc/{init.d,rc.d} in
their use.

The Import scripts are indeed different and can be moved to where ever
FHS demands.  Nonetheless, that is not going to solve the problem as the
import scripts depend on the configuration information that is in the
others.  Specifically, bootstrapping the database to do the update needs
to configure it correctly, so, it depends on the configuration
information.

It sounds like the hack you have works around the problem in dpkg, for
now. Do you have any other suggestions?

cheers.
