 I think we should really remove the files, and this should best happen
 in lenny, not after lenny, espeically as the removal of the conffiles
 was done in this cycle.

 I really think we should remove the files if a) they were not modified
 and b) they are listed as belonging to the package.  People are welcome
 to immediately readd them and we wont touch it again, but the fact that
 people upgrading and people installing from scratch get different
 results leads me to think it's not the right thing to leave the files
 on upgrade...


 What we could however do is provide a NEWS.Debian entry to document
 what needs to be done if people liked the bundled functionality.
