> On my system dpkg --compare-versions "" lt-nl "0.8" is false so it
would seem the code is also not run on fresh installs

It does run on fresh installs. You're getting confused between a 0
return code, which means the command succeeded and the condition passes,
and false. In most other languages, 0 would be false, but not in a bash
script, where a 0 return code means it succeeded :)

Good point about dpkg-reconfigure. I'll work on a debdiff with the
patches you listed.

Out of interest, how much work do you think it would be to upgrade the
package to the latest 0.8 release? We have another couple of years left
with precise as a supported release, and I'd like to keep this package
as close to upstream as possible. Should the 0.8 branch apply pretty
cleanly?
