Judging from further discussion, it looks like the reason why I've never
seen this is that I routinely purge deinstalled packages on all my
systems and most of the problems are with packages that have been
deinstalled but not purged and have obsolete init scripts.  I wonder if we
should suggest people consider doing that before the upgrade if they don't
have any old configuration files around that they care about.

Given that they're conffiles, I don't think this will even work properly.
