Package: amavisd-new
Version: 1:2.3.3-2
Severity: normal

if /etc/amavis/amavisd.conf.disabled exists, /etc/init.d/amavis start
will report:

Starting amavisd: Found old config file /etc/amavis/amavisd.conf,
amavisd-new will NOT be started for safety reasons.
Please update the amavisd-new configuration, as the
old configuration is not automatically converted.
Remove the /etc/amavis/amavisd.conf to re-enable amavisd-new.

This is misleading because it is not the existence of amavisd.conf
that causes the error, but is instead the existence of
/etc/amavis/amavisd.conf.disabled

Having an /etc/amavis/amavisd.conf file alone will not prevent the
script from running. If someone were to rename /etc/amavis/amavisd.conf.disabled
back to /etc/amavis/amavisd.conf, the script will run. This is a
problem because now someone could start amavisd-new with the command
'amavisd-new start' and /etc/amavis/amavisd.conf will be used instead
of the /conf.d config files which would lead to having two different
amavisd-new configurations.
