 Hi,

Hi Michael, and thanks for your bugreport.

I had trouble to reproduce this behaviour and to find the culprit code; it's 
now found: it was in the dpkg-maintscript-helper migration that the 
*.maintscript file was mis-named, then correctly re-named without bumping the 
last version in which said conffile is present.

It will be fixed in the upload pending for this afternoon.

Cheers,
