Martin,

I agree and I think it's a violation of the Debian Policy 10.7.3 but the
config file is already removed during the upgrade in the prerm script. I
submitted debbug 591677 about this issue.

Regarding this SRU, in 0.4.9-1 the configuration is already removed in
the prerm, and overwritten in the postinst. The config file is already
lost during an upgrade, or when the package is removed. I don't think
that removing a file that is already removed and then overwritten would
introduce any regression. We would at least fix the installation issue
even if we keep the wrong behaviour which is another issue.

Do you think I should to stay close to the maintainer script  (and also
remove the config file deletion in postinst from the SRU) or the policy
violation should be fixed first ?
