I think Antonio was rightfully complaining about the unannounced change from the old config format to the new YAML format. I forgot to write a NEWS file that is displayed on package update. In Debian, there is a general expectation tha packages contain to function during an update. I was too lazy to write a converter from the old format to the new format. The least I could have done was writing a NEWS file. I had that on my mind and thought I did, but I didn't. This will be fixed in the next upload.
