I didn't at all, since the scripts are completely different. ubuntu6 just ships
the new conffile in /etc/hotplug/usb and its postinst removes the old one in
/etc/hotplug.d/usb.

However, I have an idea: A previous postinst (which changed from /etc/hotplug/
to /etc/hotplug.d, as done by Debian some months ago) also just removed the
"old" conffile in /etc/hotplug/usb, probably at a time when the package was
still installed. This was probably regarded as manual removal. Is there a way to
re-register a conffile, to get the --force-confmiss effect? In any case this is
just an intra-Breezy effect, but since this is pretty common, it would be nice
to get a general solution.

Since the original bug is now fixed, I change the bug specs.
