Package: riece
Version: 3.1.0-1
Severity: important

Hello!

When doing a clean sarge to etch upgrade, the file
/etc/emacs/site-start.d/50riece.el trigger a 
spurious dpkg conffile handling 

Configuration file `/etc/emacs/site-start.d/50riece.el'
 ==> Modified (by you or by a script) since installation.
 ==> Package distributor has shipped an updated version.
   What would you like to do about it ?  Your options are:
    Y or I  : install the package maintainer's version
    N or O  : keep your currently-installed version
      D     : show the differences between the versions
      Z     : background this process to examine the situation
 The default action is to keep your current version.

This is due in a RC bug in sarge riece package : it modify
the conffiles through debconf: it add:
  ;; Don't touch manually the following line which is modified by debconf.
  ;; If you want to customize add-ons, use `dpkg-reconfigure'.
and some elisp code.

(This was also a debconf abuse).

One way to fix the breakage is delete the file
/etc/emacs/site-start.d/50riece.el in the preinst script
if it match the unmodified sarge version + the debconf adjustement
at least if the user picked the default option.

When choosing the default options, I get a file
/etc/emacs/site-start.d/50riece.el with md5sum
