>From readinf the bug report and teh changelog I would say this bug is no longer present in the package. My own tests also ran well. But the upgrade from an old and buggy version certainly doesn't work because the old package still has the buggy init script. IMO fixinf this by changing the init scrip from the new preinst creates more hassle than it's worth. After all the 1.2.* package series shouldn't exist anymore. They are still there on some archs, but that's not related to this bug and these archs should become up-to-date anyway.
