Package: logcheck
Version: 1.2.43a
Severity: normal
Since the upgrade from 1.2.42 a couple of days ago I've been receiving
messages like

find shows there are quite a few dpkg-old files in my logcheck config
directories.
I wasn't asked any questions on upgrade (e.g., do you want to replace
your current file with the version in the package).
I'm not sure if the problem is that logcheck is paying attention to
the dpkg-old files or that the files exist.
The former interpretation is consistent with bug 353793 and the change
away from run-parts noted there. Probably the behavior reported here
has the same underlying cause.
