Get rid of debconf-hack

Upstream bug:  zephyr:#108

Description

The only place we use it is in zephyr-clients, and my understanding is that nobody actually _likes_ it. The note in there suggests it is used to prevent zephyr from starting before it is configured, but since 2.1.20010518.SNAPSHOT-18 (Thu, 19 Jul 2007 04:31:53 -0400), it has supported Hesiod. Also, with #702, the installer will preseed these debconf values. Also also, what are the actual consequences of zhm briefly starting, and then being restarted by zephyr-config?

OK, sigh, I see the problem. zephyr-clients restarts zhm, which looks for Hesiod sloc information, and doesn't find it because Hesiod is still configured for .localdomain, and the restart fails, which is fatal. (Arguably, _that_ is the bug here, and we should, like, file it). I'll note that fixing this is as simple as Pre-Depends: debathena-hesiod-config, but geofft also notes we can copy the code into zephyr-config's preinst, which is also fine.
