Really? This is a bug, if so. Because the code that checks /etc/cron.d/
is supposed to skip files containing a '.', just like run-parts. And
during an upgrade, changed conffiles should be named 'foo.dpkg-new' (or
foo.dpkg-dist, after the upgrade finishes), and thus skipped.
(I just looked at the code again, and I don't see an obvious hole. Joel, if
you or someone else can give me a specific example, I'll investigate.)
