Only on the surface it's a straight-forward change. When you look
closer at the postinst code, I'm quite sure the code only works when
the config var hasn't been changed from the default.
(Or it does work, but you end up with ucf hijacking files the
package doesn't ship.)

I'm thinking of deleting most of the code in the postinst for
stretch.

Not sure what to do about jessie. Given that this bug has existed
since 2006, maybe it's not terribly important to fix in jessie.
