Package: dpkg
Version: 1.16.8
Severity: important

Hi,

moving a conffile from old-pkg to new-pkg with

Package: old-pkg
Depends: new-pkg (>= X)

Package: new-pkg
Breaks: old-pkg (<< X)
Replaces: old-pkg (<< X)

seems to work, also if the conffile gets replaced by an updated version
on the way, but it leaves an old md5sum entry in the Conffiles entry of
old-pkg in the status file.

This causes subsequent debsums runs to report modified files (for a
package which no longer owns the file).

Seen in grub-* (moved something to grub-common) and libopenal1 (moved
/etc/openal/alsoft.conf to libopenal-data).
