@Maintainer:

I believe that this bug is due to another bug found in 1.28 version,
it installs a bad version of /etc/default/adjtimex :

I think it needs a postinst check for versions, something like this:

[...]

 case "$1" in
     configure)

# Affects versions greater or equal than 1.28-1, less than 1.29-2
# Using rm since the conf file contents are already corrupt

if dpkg --compare-versions "$2" ge 1.28-1 &&
  dpkg --compare-versions "$2" lt-nl 1.29-2 ; then
    rm -f "$conffile"
fi

[...]

(*NOT* thoroughly tested, but I think it's sh-compatible)

Cheers!
