So what happens is when upgrading from lenny, the varnish/squeeze
postinst runs:
upgrade_enable_varnishd() {
sed -i '/^START=/s/no/yes/g' /etc/default/varnish
}
which thus modifies the conffile, and the upgrade to wheezy barfs on
that.This is icky, but I'm not sure we should consider this serious. Cheers, Julien
