Fwiw, I would do the following:
- Move /etc/thinkpad.yaml to /usr/share/doc/thinkpad/examples
- Do not remove /etc/thinkpad.conf (automatically) on upgrades
- Put up a big fat NEWS entry with instructions how to convert from
/etc/thinkpad.conf to /etc/thinkpad.yaml

I know, this will leave /etc/thinkpad.conf as obsolete conffile in
/var/lib/dpkg/status (and piuparts will probably complain), but that is an
ok compromise I think.

This will ensure, that users upgrading from the old version continue to have
a working setup and they can convert to the new format on their own.

Regards,
Michael
