auto-update should clean up .debathena-orig.dpkg-new files

On a couple of Debathena machines I use:

sipbadmin@tyger:~$ find /etc -name "*.dpkg-new" 2>/dev/null
/etc/bind/named.conf.options.debathena-orig.dpkg-new
/etc/openafs/afs.conf.debathena-orig.dpkg-new

dr-wily:~ geofft$ find /etc -name "*.dpkg-new" 2>/dev/null

Zephyr discussion reminded me that this is due to  a bug in dpkg regarding diverted conffiles that's been fixed in dpkg 1.15. Jaunty and Lenny both still have 1.14, and we more or less still care about them, so we should consider adding code in auto-update to clean these up appropriately.

This is not a useful description of anything.

[geofft]

Fair enough. Description changed.

[andersk]

Um, are the .dpkg-new files really the ones that should be cleaned up?

[jdreed]

By waiting long enough, we successfully avoided caring about dpkg << 1.15.
