This seems to be a bit more difficult. Looks like the error
already exists in jessie, but dpkg-maintscript-helper in
jessie does not notice it. That means, that
these dpkg-maintscript-helper commands were ineffective:

for conffile in conf kasp zonefetch zonelist; do
    for ext in xml xml.sample; do
        dpkg-maintscript-helper rm_conffile ${conffile}.${ext} 1.2.1.dfsg-1 -- "$@"
    done
done

and should be readded with a correct path, ideally via a .maintscript file
and using the current version, to redo this cleanup on long grown systems for real.

1:2.0.3-5 seems to have no more of these maintainer scripts, causing the upgrade to fail:
