I just encountered another instance of this issue.
While preparing an upload for systemd, I tested the change for
https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-systemd/systemd.git/commit/?id=34165f8d3429ff419bf45234b1a92e127468145f

But unfortunately the conffile is not properly removed. All I get is a
renamed file /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/50-systemd-user.sh.dpkg-remove
I'm pretty sure this is due to this bug in dpkg.

So, do you plan an upload of dpkg with a fix for this (soonish)?

Regards,
Michael
