Hmm I don't think I'd have ever modified it... and even then I think it
should be unregistered as a conffile, but just left over as a "normal"
file.

My understanding is that such files should be cleaned up with:
dpkg-maintscript-helper rm_conffile

The version that needs to be given is, AFAIU, not the version in which
the conffile was dropped, but "the latest version of the package whose
upgrade should trigger the operation".

The manpage has an example section which describes that pretty well.


And then I'd guess one should add this to the maintainer scripts and
leave it until next-stable+1 or so?


But I'm not an expert :D


Cheers,
Chris.
