I don't have bootlogd installed. However, I'm starting to feel that we need a proper dpkg-maintscript-helper method to deal with config files that change package ownership, especially in cases when the new package that adopts some config files won't necessarily be pulled in as a Depends or Recommends of the old package. I'd really welcome the feedback of dpkg maintainers on how this could be best handled.
