Yes. So this means that if you want to remove that file, you really need to Pre-Depends on the new dpkg. Else isn't likely never going to be cleaned up, and you really need it for a simple upgrade from the current stable the the future stable. I was just hoping that I could avoid Pre-Depends, and I don't feel like writing the scripts myself when we have a general solution for it.
