Bug Description
Binary package hint: kexec-tools
By having both dpkg conffile and maintainer script handling of configuration the kexec-tools package is in violation of the Debian Policy. This will trigger different behaviour from apt-get install and dpkg -i installs of the same package.
We should strip out the static version of the configuration file from the package and use the maintainer script versions.

Need to remove the old static configuration file and simply use the maintainer script version. Will prepare debdiffs for this and attach them to bug 251242 as part of the changes required there.
