Bug#901129: timidity: removes conffile belonging to timidity-daemon



The changes in
https://salsa.debian.org/debian/timidity/commit/3e768cabe537f2a8a22a51f4eb398a974fe15e25

specifically

timidity.maintscript
rm_conffile    /etc/default/timidity    2.14.0-1~    timidity-daemon

doesn't look correct either.
dpkg-maintscript-helper does not have support for moving conffiles from
one package to another (and why would you remove the conffile from
timidity-daemon, the package you moved the conffile into?)
Afaik, the best you can do is to have a versioned Breaks/Replaces
against the package which previously shipped the conffile.

Because moving conffiles is so badly supported, it should be avoided
whenever possible.
