Unfortunately, that doesn't explain it .. the only remotely relevant
change is:
+find /var/lib/ucf/cache -type f -print0 | xargs -0r /bin/rm -f
which, of course, would not cause a mv error message.

What is /usr/local/bin/ucf?  /usr/local/ isn't (well, shouldn't be)
touched by debiann packages, and my ucf is in /usr/bin/.

I see that it is calling tr '[:lower:]' '[:upper:]', which explains
where the uppercasing us happening.
