Hi guys!

Since the RC bug is now open for a while, I guess I have to take the
time to go and fix it :-) But when I'm at it, I would like to simplify
the maintainer scripts, as possible.

Would anybody object to cleaning up the postinst/config scripts a bit to
get rid of obsolete stuff? Things that I found:

- convert_old_conf() (and in turn pgconf_add() and pmconf_add() and
  the respective debconf questions) are not really needed any more
  since woody already does the necessary conversion and Debian does
  not support leaving out stable releases during upgrades anyway.

- postinst, lines 276 ff. and line 536 check whether config files
  /etc/postgresql/postgresql.conf and others exist. What is the point
  in doing that? The psql debs currently ship these files in /etc/
  (which must be changed to use ucf, BTW), so is there any sane
  possibility that these files are not present?

I will learn ucf and try to implement it in the next days and send a
proposed patch to the list. But before I would like to settle these
things, since they would ease the job.

Thanks and have a nice weekend!

Martin
