Specifically, I added to d/puppet-agent.maintscript:

Do you know why this isn't working as intended?
According to the dpkg-maintscript-helper manual page:
If the conffile has not been shipped for several versions, and you
are now modifying the maintainer scripts to clean up the obsolete
file, prior-version should be based on the version of the package
that you are now preparing, not the first version of the package
that lacked the conffile.
For example, for a conffile removed in version 2.0-1 of a package,
prior-version should be set to 2.0-1~. This will cause the conffile
to be removed even if the user rebuilt the previous version 1.0-1 as
1.0-1local1. Or a package switching a path from a symlink (shipped
in version 1.0-1) to a directory (shipped in version 2.0-1), but
only performing the actual switch in the maintainer scripts in
version 3.0-1, should set prior-version to 3.0-1~.
So 7.22.0-3~ should have been used for the version number, but
for the next upload it should be 7.22.0-4~ or similar instead.
Thanks for the clarification. I think you meant that I should have used
prior-version "7.21.0-3~" instead of "7.21.0.2~", because the first
version of the package with the service renamed was "7.21.0-3", and that
is also the version where I added those lines in d/puppet-agent.maintscript.
I'll adjust the prior-version to "7.22.0-4~" in my next upload,
hopefully that fixes things.
