After applying all of Justin's changes proposals, here are the new control and sysstat.templates...
Template: sysstat/remove_files
Type: boolean
Default: true
_Description: Remove old format statistics data files?
The format of daily data statistics files has changed in version ${s_version}
of sysstat and is not compatible with the previous one.
.
If you choose this option, all existing data files in the /var/log/sysstat/
directory will be deleted.
.
If you don't choose this option, the sar(1) command will not work properly
until you remove the files manually.
Template: sysstat/enable
Type: boolean
Default: false
_Description: Activate sysstat's cron job?
If this option is enabled the sysstat package will monitor system
activities and store the data in log files within /var/log/sysstat/.
.
This data allows the sar(1) command to display system statistics for the
whole day.
.
If you don't enable this option, the sar(1) command will only show the
current statistics.

Description: system performance tools for Linux
The sysstat package contains the following system performance tools:
- sar: collects and reports system activity information;
- iostat: reports CPU utilization and disk I/O statistics;
- mpstat: reports global and per-processor statistics;
- pidstat: reports statistics for Linux tasks (processes);
- sadf: displays data collected by sar in various formats.
.
The statistics reported by sar deal with I/O transfer rates,
paging activity, process-related activities, interrupts,
network activity, memory and swap space utilization, CPU
utilization, kernel activities and TTY statistics, among
others. Both UP and SMP machines are fully supported.
