Argh, maybe not. My initial thinking was that debconf-ish stuff is
either run at the start of the postinst, or the .config is called by
apt right before the unpacking starts, isn't it? So the script needs
to make sure that it doesn't try to fix the gist index if the old
version is still installed and debconf is deferred to postinst.

Anyway, the broken index can be safely detected at any time, with any
version, so merely pointing out the fix-it script is safer IMHO.
