I also got this prompt when upgrading. But then, bootlogd no longer
works. More generally, it seems to do bad things with conf files as
in my bug report

  http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=717292

I can see:

-- Configuration Files:
/etc/init.d/stop-bootlogd [Errno 2] No such file or directory: u'/etc/init.d/stop-bootlogd'
/etc/init.d/stop-bootlogd-single [Errno 2] No such file or directory: u'/etc/init.d/stop-bootlogd-single'
