Comment 16 for bug 283765

Is there any chance that jockey would be called to install a package more than once (say, the package is installed, then removed, then installed again)? If so, there's a possibility of --force-confnew moving a conffile to .dpkg-old twice, thereby clobbering the earliest instance.

This is also a different standard of "make it work" than what's used in update-manager. I'm not convinced this is a good change to make in an SRU, until we've had time to see how it's received in jaunty.
