IMHO, we should emulate the behaviour of debconf in case the package
maintainer provided a new package:
 
 for file in [00site.sl, 99defaults.sl]:
 
   test whether the user|administrator changed it
   if not: 
      remove without asking
   else:
      """jed-commond does no longer include the `file` in /etc/jed-init.d/.
       
       You or a script has modified this file
       
       R rename to `file`.dpkg-old
       K keep
       ...
       """
