Yup. Here's what I saw, in the course of upgrading with apt-get:

Preparing to replace ttf-indic-fonts-core 1:0.5.4ubuntu2 (using .../ttf-indic-fonts-core_1%3a0.5.8ubuntu1_all.deb) ...
/var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci/preinst: 19: rm_conffile: not found
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/ttf-indic-fonts-core_1%3a0.5.8ubuntu1_all.deb (--unpack):

Errors were encountered while processing:

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

I don't see any calls to rm_conffile in /var/lib/dpkg/info/ttf-indic-fonts-core.* after installation, but that's probably because the installed version (as reported by "dpkg -l") remains at 1:0.5.4ubuntu2.
