Moreover, in
The right way to remove an obsolete conffile in a Debian package
https://raphaelhertzog.com/2010/10/07/the-right-way-to-remove-an-obsolete-conffile-in-a-debian-package/
it says to put rm_conffile in the 3 relevant scripts (preinst, postinst, postrm)
However, when I did some research, I found that most packages put
rm_conffile in the .maintscript file. Where does that come from? It
is even not in the man page. OK that I put rm_conffile in the
.maintscript file as well, instead of in all 3 scripts (preinst,
postinst, postrm)?
