So what happens when a user upgrades from lenny to the new package?
Does their zabbix installation simply stop working? Is there any
information provided to them during the upgrade as to what's going on?

There's a couple, I'm afraid.

This doesn't seem to have been applied to the unstable packages?
Presumably the package is still going to attempt the database
autoconfiguration step during install anyway?
- chmod 000 $(TMP_FRONTEND)/usr/share/zabbix/setup.php
+ rm $(TMP_FRONTEND)/usr/share/zabbix/setup.php
Why was this change made? (and why was the previous package explicitly
setting an included file to mode 000? That seems a little strange).
Thanks for your work.
