It should be. However it won't be there for upgrades from versions
which did already move config file without using dpkg helper.
Unfortunately the helper is not clever enough to handle breakage I've
introduced.

The absolute path unfortunately needs to be there - that's difference
between zend_extension and extension. Fortunately the path removal was
done in file which was not used at the end. Anyway as the package is
now unblocked I'd like to avoid yet another upload just for
changelog clarification.
