Control: found -1 javascript-common/11+nmu1
Control: tags -1 = confirmed
Control: severity -1 serious

Here's a scripted reproducer:

    mmdebstrap --variant=apt --chrooted-customize-hook='cd / && apt download javascript-common && dpkg 
-i ./javascript-common_*.deb && rm /etc/apache2/conf-available/javascript-common.conf && apt install -y 
apache2 && dpkg -i ./javascript-common_*.deb' stable /dev/null

I'll note this already happens with the version in stable.

Raising severity to serious, as per my understanding of the policy, removing a conffile is a supported action, and maintainer scripts must not fail in this case.

A workaround should be:
    dpkg -i --reinstall ./javascript-common_*.deb
(Which should restore the missing conffiles.)
