I actually did not have this in my radar. I guess I could add code to consider the upgrade path when the user has set both otpions. Right now is not covered and users coming from Lenny with this option will end up having a similar problem as you had with '-p'. This would be a different (but similar) bug. > I'm not sure if it's possible to query it out of debconf even if there > is no template anymore.

IIRC the debconf value is there even if the template is not distributed with the package anymore unless you explicitly remove it from the database. I will have to ponder this and see if I can write something now to cover this case. If I cannot do it now and people experience issues upgrading it will have to go through stable's proposed-updates.
