pkg_postinst() {
    cd /opt/misterhouse/bin
    ./configure
  }

FWICS, this script removes some installed files, calls h2ph to create .ph files and AFAIU h2ph creates files *inside installed perl hierarchy*, i.e. orphan files.

Those all tasks really belong to the build/install process, and running them in postinst creates missing/orphan files and skips userpriv/sandbox etc.

I think we should mask it for removal immediately.
