However the new inn2 thinks I have inn2-lfs installed:

You are trying to install inn2 on a system where the inn2-lfs package is
currently installed.
The old inn2-lfs package does not exist anymore and must be replaced by
the new functionally equivalent inn2 package, which supports large files.
This will require rebuilding the history and overview databases, but the
postinst script will attempt to do it for you.
BEWARE: the timecaf spool format is not compatible between 32 and 64 bit
systems and no conversion tool is available.
A possible solution may involve manually feeding the articles to the new
server by using the old innxmit binary in a chroot environment containing
the old spool, history and /etc/news/.
Please create an empty /etc/news/convert-inn-data file and then try
again installing inn2 if you want to proceed.
Purging inn2 and reinstalling seems to have bypassed the problem.
