Henrik, any chance you could put a license on this? I know, sorry.

EDIT: nevermind.

Running dpkg-deb -x in /tmp changes the directory permissions on /tmp from the default 777 to 755. This caused an issue for me running java as a non-root user since java.io.tmpdir defaults to /tmp, which is no longer writable. Creating /tmp/fuse and doing the work in there appears to have fixed the problem for me.

that throws an error in Ubuntu Xenial:
/var/lib/dpkg/info/fuse.postinst: 1: /var/lib/dpkg/info/fuse.postinst: -en: not found
echo '#!/bin/bash\nexit 0\n' -en> DEBIAN/postinst &&
Did you have to use modprobe fuse for it to work?
