Public bug reported:

Quoting bug #976781 correspondence:
>> aliprosessi installed post-installation script palautti virhetilakoodin 255
> apologies for the really stupid half-translated error message you got.

I'm not sure what should be done about this.  A more fluent translation
would be something like "aliprosessin asentama asennuksen
viimeistelyskripti" (off the top of my head) but if "post-installation
script" is not a translatable string (haven't checked) it may require
changes to the source.

I started to look at the Finnish dpkg translations, but there are over
300 untranslated messages to cope with, and I'm not a native speaker.
I'm mainly submitting this bug report as a reminder to myself to revisit
when I have more time.
