Attached is a simple patch against 3.8.0-5. With this patch, the
install completes and config files are installed, but of course
ddclient won't function without the user editing the configuration
files appropriately.
Patch is against -5 because -6 apparently has issues with postinst;
submitted as bug 555151. I imagine the same workaround would function
there.
