diversion/conffile



i have a problem with an init.d script that i move out of the way with
a diversion to $i.real. however, as i install the new version (which
is marked as a conffile), i am being asked what to do, overwrite or
not. but the actual script doesn't exist anymore at that point, as
it's been moved by the diversion. i thought diversion are to handle
such cases in a way to let dpkg know about it.

how else should i proceed? not marking as conffile will probably
result in an error as i am trying to overwrite a file in another
package.

any tips appreciated!
