The man page for alien says:
-c, --scripts
Try to convert the scripts that are meant to be run when
the pack age is installed and removed. Use this with
caution, becuase these scripts might be designed to work on
a system unlike your own, and could cause problems. It is
recommended that you examine the scripts by hand and check
to see what they do before using this option.
This is enabled by default when converting from lsb packages.
But beware that the policies differ for these distros and I think it
very unlikely that %post and %preun scripts would be at all suitable
for both. That is why this option is disabled by default.
