It does, and as far as I know, the fix provided in 2.87dsf-4 solved
the upgrade problem, and you are left with the migration issues
reported in the debconf note.

Here is a summary of the problems with the init.d scripts and how to
solve it to migrate to dependency based boot sequencing.

These scripts has probably been dropped from their respecive packages,
but the package maintainer forgot to add code in the postinst to
remove them during upgrades.  Removing the scripts is probably the
correct solution.  I've seen one report where dpkg would claim that a
script was obsolete one time and not obsolete one upgrade later, so
this should probably be checked a bit.

The /etc/init.d/webmin script is lacking the init.d header.  Adding it
to the top of the script would solve it.

insserv: script xfs: service xfs already provided!

I suspect you have both xfs and xfstt installed, and they have
conflicting provides.  When bug #542677 is fixed, this problem will go
away.

Happy hacking,
