FAI packaging

you can extract the tar file from the deb package:

dpkg --fsys-tarfile fai-<version>.deb > fai.tar

The control information can be extracted with

dpkg -e fai-<version>.deb

which creates a subdirectory DEBIAN that contains the postinst script
(and other control information)

Kind regards, Thomas
