That's better, yes. I think I'd say "while it wasn't configured" instead
of "since it was deconfigured" at the end, in order to also cover the
case where package I was never configured (e.g., first time it's
installed, but still only unpacked, and misses some triggers for this
reason), but that's a detail.
