It is ugly, but here's how you do it:

preinst: if there, mv oldname newname, and warn the user with a message to
stderr.

The problem is the error unwind path. You *must* mv newname oldname if the
package install fails before the configure phase.  I don't exactly recall
the error unwind path for a conffile move.
