that's not a problem in my patch as set_mode is called anyway and only once 
here regardless of the result of compare_modes:

original code in LATEST
    set_mode($ps,$destfile,$class);
    runscript("postinst",$ps,$destfile,$class);

original code in DEBIAN STABLE is 
    postinst($ps,$destfile,$class);
    set_mode($ps,$destfile,$class);

so set_mode is called anyway after or before postinst. I dont know why the 
utime is called at all. Is it importand to have the time set to the time of 
the configuration file?

in my opinion all modtime code could be removed, but i kept it as i didn't 
understand it and just wanted to fix the bug.

kind regards,
janning
