Not sure it's better, but what about checking in the postinst if the old
config file is present and if so installing a unit file snippet under
/etc/systemd/system/ser2net.service.d overriding the ExecStart line for
the old config file? (I wouldn't use /etc/default/ser2net at all.)
And of course include a comment asking for its removal.
