For this part, there's nothing to do AFAIK (except adding a Replaces, just in case). > while at the same time sysvinit-utils can safely clean up the > conffiles in case bootlogd is not installed (sysvinit-utils doesn't have > a dependency on bootlogd, so it is actually rather likely that bootlogd > won't be installed). What's difficult in implementing this? You can't really use dpkg-maintscript-helper conditionnaly because the installation state of bootlogd might change between preinst and postinst but you could at least remove the (unmodified) files in postinst if you see that bootlogd is not at least unpacked (usage of dpkg-query in maintainer scripts is safe).
