Bug#574510: #574510: statd running as root after remove/install

[Vagrant Cascadian <vagrant+debianbugs@freegeek.org>]

Package: nfs-common
Followup-For: Bug #574510

this patch partially addresses the issue by ensuring that the files are owned
by statd no matter what version is installed, even if a previous version was
installed.

it looks like the comparison with an empty "$2" argument works for an initial
install, but not when a package was removed and later re-installed, as postinst
will be called with the previously installed version as an argument. other
parts of the postinst may be affected by similar uses of tests against "$2".
