Bug Description

case "$1" in
        configure)
[...]
        *)
                echo "postinst called with an unknown argument \`$1'" >&2
                exit 1
        ;;
esac

There are several legal arguments to postinst other than 'configure', and whoopsie needs to accept them even if it doesn't do anything special with them. I suggest replacing that case statement with 'if [ "$1" = configure" ]; then ...; fi'.
