Marking just the scripts as conffiles and having them contain the
configuration is OK for scripts which aren't edited by the postinst,
though it's nicer to have flags the user can change in a separate
file.

Certainly all of the scripts in /etc should be marked as conffiles, so
that the user can edit them if they want to.  We should just avoid
forcing most of them to do so.
