The conffiles are not obsoleted, now they belong to another package -
console-setup-linux. I am sure this is not the first time conffiles have
been transferred from one Debian package to another, but I don't know
what is the proper way to handle this. I suppose this bug belongs to
dpkg, should I reassign?
