Package: qmail

Hi Jon!
Due to incorrect communication of postinst script with debconf, it does not
matter what answer is provided for "qmail/start" debconf question, qmail is
not started anyway.
I attach patch with update of qmail.templates file and postinst script. It
also changes type of this question from select to boolean (seems to be more
appropriate here). If you prefer to keep current template type, compare
$ret[1] in postinst with "yes" instead of "true".
postrm file was updated similarily for "qmail/userpurge" template.
