Jean-Baptiste,

thanks for looking into this. I have some headache about the newly
introduced

+++ mysqmail-0.4.9/debian/mysqmail.postinst

+# Always delete the config file first.
+rm -f ${PATH_CONF_FILE}

A package should never remove a configuration file in /etc/ without
further checks. It looks like it would re-create it from debconf, but
that's the wrong way around: if the admin changes stuff in /etc/,
debconf should adapt. (debconf is a cache, /etc/ is the authoritative
configuration).
