Clean upgrades from any version is a noble goal, and one debian should try
to accomplish, if at all possible.
Why not leave the hack in forever. I see no reason against it. Many of my
packages have "do not ever touch or remove this section" areas in their
maintainer scripts, to deal with issues that arose years ago.
