Dear maintainer,

The upgrade from bookworm to trixie leaves behind an obsolete conffile:
/etc/default/wsdd

See the reference to dpkg-maintscript-helper in dh_installdeb(1) for how
to fix this.
It appears this is a bit more complicated.
The wsdd package was split into wsdd and wsdd-server.
The wsdd-server package took over the /etc/default/wsdd conffile from wsdd. Unfortunately there is no support in dpkg or dpkg-maintscript-helper to do that (1) in a clean, straightforward way. There are some hackish ways to achieve that, see e.g. (2), by moving the conffile around manually via maintscripts.
