That in itself should not be a problem (it would be helpful if we knew the exact error message, like what apt-get prints) Are those files perhaps in use somehow ?

One ugly hack would be to have fake names for the binaries in the package, which you then move to the correct name in the postinst...? I don't know...
In that case I think it's better to put a 'rm' for the old stuff in preinst ? (if you rename it in postinst, then you also have to change postrm to delete whan you renamed, etc)
