Obs.  Thank you for the report.  I am able to reproduce it:

# touch /etc/init.d/bootclean; PREV_VER=2.86.ds1-38 sh -x /var/lib/dpkg/info/initscripts.preinst upgrade 
+ [ -L /etc/init.d/stop-bootlogd ]
+ [  ]
+ dpkg --compare-versions 2.86.ds1-38 lt 2.86.ds1-39
+ eliminate_conffile /etc/init.d/bootclean
+ PKGNAME=initscripts
+ CONFFILE=/etc/init.d/bootclean
+ [ -e /etc/init.d/bootclean ]
+ md5sum $CONFFILE
+ sed -e s/ .*//
+ CURRENT_MD5SUM=
+ dpkg-query -W -f=${Conffiles} initscripts
+ sed -n -e "\\ $CONFFILE{s/ obsolete$//
sed: -e expression #1, char 1: unknown command: `"'
+ s/.* //p}"
/var/lib/dpkg/info/initscripts.preinst: 1: s/.*: not found
+ FACTORY_MD5SUM=
+ [  !=  ]
+ echo Removing obsolete conffile /etc/init.d/bootclean ...
Removing obsolete conffile /etc/init.d/bootclean ...
+ rm -f /etc/init.d/bootclean
+ [ -f /var/log/fsck ]
