Would it be sufficient to add some logic to the postinst disabling the
new systemd timer if the existing cron-job didn't exist? Or add a
warning message in the event that the existing cron-job didn't match
some hash of a default?

I'm keen to try and avoid handling any more complex (arbitrary)
customisations :)
