I have talked about this with Joey before he rejected it, and finally we
agreed that it's better that way. The problem is that users with
affected systems (i.e. with ro /usr/local) will experience a failed
preinst script, anyway: As it is currently, while upgrading from sarge
to etch, with the update during the update from sarge r0 to sarge r1.
So this upload is no solution. It is technically possible to have a
solution, namely to put a new version into sarge that gracefully handles
the problem when its prerm is called as "<new-prerm> failed-upgrade
<old-version>".
However, Joey seems to have the opinion not to accept upgrades to stable
which have the only purpose of fixing RC bugs that manifest during the
dist-upgrade to stable+1. Before doing any coding, this needs to be
discussed (on -release or wherever). But we're not in a hurry.
