Bug#503647: perlindex: debconf setting overridden on upgrades

[Niko Tyni]

Package: perlindex
Version: 1.502-3
Severity: important

The debconf setting perlindex/removeindexonpurge is unconditionally
reset to 'true' by the config script on upgrades. It should query
the debconf database for an existing setting first.

Frankly, I don't see much point in the whole setting.  It helps in
testing the package installation and removal, but that's about it. I
can't see any use for the index files when the package is purged.)
