>> mkdir -p /target
>> touch /target/foofile

>> Then I executed "simple-cdd --profiles MINIMAL"

>> After automatic instalation, I checked / on my new system and I found

>> This proved me, that I don't understand this and therefore I need to ask:
>>  How does the postinst script work in debian-installer?
