Add postinst message pointing to the additional packages that must be installed to support all mono namespaces w.r.t. bug 151315 and bug 256506. Further investigation has revealed that the gluezilla package is not a build-time dependency. The same is true for the Oracle instantclient. The mono dlls for these will be built regardless, one only has to install the packages to get support for them.
