Then there is no way to only change the old log path into new log path.
All the other options in this file are usually changed from the admin.

Perhaps the package could give a hint about this useful change while
starting the init script? Or give a hint while upgrading?

Now I have checked this topic in detail. The warning is:

"udevd-work [428]: kernel-provided name 'capi' and NAME='capi20' disagree,
 please use SYMLINK= or change the kernel to provide the proper name"

But finally I have found this warning only comes in Debian Squeeze. In
Testing/Wheezy the file /lib/udev/rules.d/50-udev-default.rules does 
not have the line for capi anymore and the warning is gone. But I am
wondering why the udev config file of capi4hylafax does not triggering
the same warning.

For your info: the /dev/capi20 device will be created in the init script
of the package capiutils.

Because of this situation it would useful to create the needed link 
/dev/faxCAPI in the init script of capi4hylafax, too. And then the
capi-fax solution can be used directly after capi4hylafax were installed.

Have a nice day.
