Hi,

what you have reported here is a leftover of #895371 which only happens
on installations << 18.04-1, which is << oldstable a.k.a. Stretch and older.

I'm reluctant to address this since it does no harm and does not affect
any fresh installation on Debian >= 10.

What I'd need to fix this is a way to unregister /etc/default/ejabberd
as a conffile but leave the file in place.

Using dpkg-maintscript-helper or deb-conffiles would remove the actual
file, which is unacceptable.
Backup+Restore of that file around either of those tools seems to me
like not worth the hassle.

You could simply remove the line from
/var/lib/dpkg/info/ejabberd.conffiles,
but I'm pretty sure I am not allowed to do that from a maintainer script.

I'm CCing Jonas, who reported #895371, for maybe he has a good idea how
to clean this up.

Regards
