ucf-managed conffiles

Package: mailman
Version: 2.1.7-1
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks unrelated software, causes serious data loss
purging mailman deletes _all_ conffiles that are managed by ucf. "all"
with the meaning of "all, including the ones that do not belong to the
mailman package".
This is most probably a bug in the postrm, since
sed -e ':/etc/mailman:!d' -e 's:^[0-9a-f]* *::' /var/lib/ucf/hashfile
lists all ucf-managed conffiles, not only the ones belonging to mailman.
I did not check whether this bug applies to mailman in sarge as well.
Greetings
Marc
