There are no nice fixes for this bug.  I don't really know what's best, but
I do know that if we go through the non-mv way, we have to use a debconf
note (for the warning), and that might not be kosher for initscripts.

Ah, the mv way also requires an mv back to the old name in the rollback
path.

That would mean a debconf note, then.  With or without the mv.
