        if [ -f /etc/dbus-1/system.d/system-tools-backends.conf ] && \
           [ -f /etc/dbus-1/system.d/org.freedesktop.SystemToolsBackends.conf ]; then
            # We have both old and new conffiles, which probably means that a version
            # between 2.6.0-6.1 and 2.10.1-2 was installed.
            if echo "68224c4af00f723e7e08992a91ddc9f286fc4f4c  /etc/dbus-1/system.d/system-tools-backends.conf" |
               sha1sum --check --status -; then
                # Old conffile was not modified, let's just remove it
                rm -f /etc/dbus-1/system.d/system-tools-backends.conf
            else
                # Otherwise, rename it
                mv /etc/dbus-1/system.d/system-tools-backends.conf \
                        /etc/dbus-1/system.d/system-tools-backends.conf.dpkg-remove
            fi
        fi

That's the code in preinst. So either your system-tools-backends.conf
file was modified, or the sha1 in preinst is incorrect.
