Hi,
I had a patch for this that was proposed upstream,
then I completely forgot about it:
https://bitbucket.org/opentyrian/opentyrian/pull-requests/6/display-dialog-box-if-files-are-missing/diff
This could be reworked & simplified for Debian only.

No, doing this in postinst script is dangerous (run as root,
files doesn't get registered as owned by opentyrian in dpkg database...)
we have a generic anwser to this generic problem and it's called game-data-packager.
Greets,
