obsolete conffiles not cleaned up on upgrade

[Michael Biebl]

Hi,

the following conffile is marked as obsolete in my dpkg status db

 /etc/bash_completion.d/ufw 50de7ccdcddb779093156f133d9c0a5e obsolete

Ufw now ships /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/ufw, so the conffile should be removed on upgrades.

    Closes: 884932, LP: #1558068)
    - drop 0002-bug849628.patch (included upstream)
    - drop 0003-use-default-tcp-syncookies.patch (included upstream)
    - drop 0004-lp1633698.patch (included upstream)
  * Remaining changes:
    - 0001-optimize-boot.patch
  * debian/ufw.maintscript: remove /etc/bash_completion.d/ufw on upgrade
    (LP: #1602834)
  * debian/control: remove no longer needed xs-python-version and
    x-python3-version fields
  * update debian/before6.rules.md5sum for file shipped in 0.35-6. While both
    before.rules and before6.rules were updated in this new upstream release,
    0.35-6 mistakenly already had its own md5sum for before.rules, so we don't
    need to add it now.

An upload of ufw to cosmic-proposed has been rejected from the upload queue for the following reason: "All bugs mentioned in the .changes file (so therefore also in the new debian/changelog entries) need to comply with SRU standards (test-case, regression potential). Please re-upload after filling out the required info or modify changelog to exclude irrelevant bug numbers.".
