Yes, I've seen it shortly after... and just didn't want to make more
noise in the bug. =)

Then it was rather some other package (which in turn didn't clean up),
cause the file apparently contained some stuff for DuckDuckGo and I've
never used that...

Hmm quite often, when dpkg-maintscript-helpers handly legacy config
files, I see a message first that the config file "has been moved out
of the way"... and only at the end there's the actual remove (as it was
here as well).
Could it possibly be, that some step or parameter might have been
forgotten?


Cheers,
Chris.
