As bootlogd has been split off from sysvinit-utils into a separate
package, I'm wondering if there is a way how bootlogd can take over the
conffiles while at the same time sysvinit-utils can safely clean up the
conffiles in case bootlogd is not installed (sysvinit-utils doesn't have
a dependency on bootlogd, so it is actually rather likely that bootlogd
won't be installed).
