Maybe the package preinst script can do something like this:

LOGFORM=$(grep ^LogFormat /etc/awstats/awstats.conf | tail -n 1)
if [ "$LOGFORM" != "LogFormat=1" ] && \
	[ "$(grep -c ^LogFormat /etc/awstats/awstats.conf.local)" == "0" ]
then
	echo "$LOGFORM" >> /etc/awstats/awstats.conf.local
fi

This will not handle any possible awstats.foo.bar.conf file which
includes the awstats.conf though. A debian/NEWS entry might be a good
idea.
