I guess I just first changed the calls to these functions, and then
copied and adapted the function. Anyway, this should not be the problem,
thanks for taking a look.

What regards the logic for determining the package owning the conffiles,
we have to edit the right packages in the function, and need to check
it. There is no way to do this automatically.

Best wishes
