Bug#856722: wolf4sdl: fails to install, remove, distupgrade, and install again

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: wolf4sdl
Version: 1.7+svn262+dfsg1-3
Severity: serious
User: debian-qa at lists.debian.org
Usertags: piuparts

Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package failed to install
(in 'jessie'), remove (but not purge), distupgrade to 'stretch',
and install again.
Before the second installation the package is in config-files-remaining
state. The configuration is remaining from the last version that was
successfully configured - which is from the previous release.

Like a plain failure on initial install this makes the package too buggy
for a release, thus the severity.

>From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...):
