I suspect future dpkg versions will change the conditions when that error
is emitted, but anyway, in this example it is pointing to a real bug:
dpkg --compare-versions wants a version number, which in this case would
be 0.20050817-14 rather than that longer string.
Perhaps this would be worth a lintian check? Cc-ing the lintian
maintainers just in case.
The fix might be as simple as changing
if dpkg --compare-versions $2 le
latex-cjk-japanese-wadalab_0.20050817-14; then
to
if dpkg --compare-versions $2 le 0.20050817-14; then
or removing the conffile removal code in preinst altogether (who is
upgrading from such old versions?).
Thanks for keeping Debian working well in Japanese.

Jonathan
