Why not drop the md5sum check as regards 80im-switch and use the
attached file as is instead?

As Iain Lane pointed out at the Ubuntu bug report, if im-config deletes
the file, and the user at a later point of time decides to go back to
im-switch (for some reason), 80im-switch won't be reinstalled, and the
user is faced with an issue that may be hard to track down.

Now when that line has been added to 80im-switch in the normal way, you
can say that with the file I propose, all debian/postinst would do is
adding a line to 80im-switch that would otherwise have been added at
next update. It does no harm in any way.

If the policy still makes you hesitate, you should bear in mind that it
was scarcely written with this special case in mind. Somebody should be
able to approve an exception.

Using the attached file would also eliminate one of the current
differences between the Debian and Ubuntu versions of im-config.
Hopefully we'll soon be able to use exactly the same version.
