this is most likely the wrong approach.


"postinst" is running on the target system, so instead of renaming the  
file *once* during the build process, you will rename it thousands of  
times (on each installation).
this also means that you double your chance of creating package  
collision and circumvent any security measures of the package manager  
(e.g. apt keeps track of the installed files - but it defers that  
information from the list of files in the .deb rather than checking  
which files have been installed after running postinst)
