Once the conversion has been done once, it doesn't need to run again
(it's safe enough to do so, but it's a no-op and does nothing)
The timeout you possibly saw was waiting for a service to restart or
similar. Chances are it would have timed out eventually (but that
timeout may be up to five minutes). It would be interesting to know
which %postinst failed if you still have that info so I can try
reproducing the situation and work on a more graceful solution.
