Grave would seem to be a bit of an overkill? amavisd-new still works OK
for the majority of users...

I really don't know what to do about this bug. I think the
same thing has happened before with similar situations, but
I don't know what was decided.

Both init-scripts check for the existance of /usr/sbin/amavisd,
and assume it is their version of the program and will run it.

I believe amavis-ng and amavisd-new already conflict, so that isn't the
problem.

The problem is that when replacing amavis-ng with amavisd-new,
amavis-ng will leave behind /etc/init.d/<conffiles> that conflict with
amavisd-new.

Any ideas?
