On a couple of Debathena machines I use:

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.
