Strip package scripts from .deb packages (postinst, postrm, preinst, prerm)

The best way to use this tool is to hook apt's use of dpkg to run it before doing any package installs.

In your apt.conf, put this:

DPkg::Pre-Install-Pkgs {"xargs -rL1 bash /path/to/stripdeb.sh 2>&1 | logger -t stripdeb"}

Then, a demo:

% sudo apt-get install mysql-server-5.1
