I think it can be done in config/postinst the usual way.

If the user doesn’t want conversion, either you don’t upgrade at all (in which case you indeed need to do it in the preinst) or you simply don’t start the daemon, but this sounds suboptimal as well. > 2b- If the user does want automatic conversion, do it - and leave the > daemon running.

Just upgrade, convert, and display a big fat warning that the configuration has been converted and where is the old file. -- .''`. : :' : We are debian.org.
