[yocto] do pkg_postinst() scripts need to start with "#!/bin/sh -e"?

  i take it back, i just ran across this example in base-passwd.bb:

pkg_postinst_${PN}-update () {
#!/bin/sh
if [ -n "$D" ]; then
        exit 0
fi
${sbindir}/update-passwd
}

which (naturally) doesn't use the "-e" option :-). anyway, what does
one suggest for consistency across the manual and code base?
