[Deployment] Upgrading Rails packages on CentOS uninstalls them
Description
When yum upgrades a package, it runs the postinst script for the newly installed version, then runs the cleanup script for the previously installed version. Our cleanup script always removes the package, so upgrading a package effectively uninstalls it. The cleanup script needs to recognize the "upgrade from previous version" call, and not clean up anything in that case.

review @ acab2f7c338f245baa7e5d9dca57476d12d863bf
I don't see a clear reason for the previous " [ "$1" = "1" ] || [ "$1" = "2" ] " . but whatever, LGTM now.

I think it was just copied over as boilerplate from the postinst (where it makes more sense). Thanks.

Actually, this might be mistaken. It might be that the current packages are fine, but the postrm from previously-installed (and buggy) packages runs as you upgrade. If that's the case, there's really no way around this other than to go through, or somehow inhibit the buggy postrm from running.

Tried on arvagrant, with CentOS 7, deploying first version
20161229114527-997479d1408139e96ecdb42a60b4f727f814f6c9
and then upgrading to version
20170123133526-6441ff0411fc0316c0825e8647150b1e079256ab.
All tests passes, nothing seems to be broken and/or missing, so I guess this is solved now.
