David added some code to the preinst which copes with the absence of the
template in question, but it seems to me that the code isn't useful *at all*
if we're not going to use the template. Since the purpose of this code is
to convert the values for this question, and there are no other uses of this
question in the config or postinst scripts, I think the correct solution is
to simply drop this block of code from the config script.
