It is ugly, but here's how you do it: preinst: if there, mv oldname newname, and warn the user with a message to stderr. The problem is the error unwind path. You *must* mv newname oldname if the package install fails before the configure phase. I don't exactly recall the error unwind path for a conffile move. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them. One disk to bring them all and in the darkness grind them.
