Note that:

$ rmadison -u ubuntu bacula-director-sqlite3
  bacula-director-sqlite3 | 5.2.6+dfsg-9.1ubuntu3 | trusty                  | amd64, arm64, armhf, i386, powerpc, ppc64el
  bacula-director-sqlite3 | 7.0.5+dfsg-4build1    | xenial/universe         | amd64, arm64, armhf, i386, powerpc, ppc64el, s390x
  bacula-director-sqlite3 | 7.0.5+dfsg-4ubuntu0.1 | xenial-updates/universe | amd64, arm64, armhf, i386, powerpc, ppc64el, s390x
  bacula-director-sqlite3 | 9.0.6-1build1         | bionic/universe         | amd64, arm64, armhf, i386, ppc64el, s390x
  bacula-director-sqlite3 | 9.4.2-2ubuntu5        | focal/universe          | all
  bacula-director-sqlite3 | 9.6.7-5~22.04.1       | jammy-proposed/universe | all
  bacula-director-sqlite3 | 13.0.4-1build3        | noble/universe          | all
  bacula-director-sqlite3 | 13.0.4-4build1        | plucky/universe         | all
  bacula-director-sqlite3 | 15.0.3-3              | questing/universe       | all

Whereas preinst has:

if dpkg --compare-versions "$2" lt-nl "13.0.0"; then

So 24.04 users have 13.0.4-1build3 (without the preinst) and will 
upgrade from a version 13.0.0 so will never get the preinst.

Cheers Jochen

(Who also agrees that this question should be dropped but did not use 
bacula in the last 15 years.)
