Description Paul Eggleton 2014-08-21 14:28:04 UTC 
It's a common mistake to use ${D} rather than $D in postinstall scripts, and it would be easy for us to detect, so we really ought to have a package QA check for it. We'd just need to look in the unexpanded value of pkg_postinst, pkg_preinst, pkg_postrm and pkg_prerm and trigger a QA issue if ${D} was in the value (suggesting to the user that $D should be used instead).
