I'm going to fix this only.

The conffiles that are renamed to .obsolete is ok. Ideally we should remove
them if they have no user-changes but I won't try to fix this at this
point of the freeze.

The conffile that is really renamed is not really a problem either
since the rename happens in the postinst and not in the preinst
and thus it doesn't trigger a dpkg prompting. It will do so only the next
time that this conffile is updated and that't wanted.

Strange, it should only be removed on upgrade in theory. Okay, we need to
check that $2 is not empty too.
