What position do you think we should take on this issue? If there's no
known solution that avoids conffile prompts with both the old and new
versions, and given that there's no good systematic way to arrange for one
version of dpkg or the other to be installed at the time of upgrade,
perhaps it's best to favor the new dpkg?
