Control: retitle -1 debsums causes piuparts to claim all packages modified migrated conffile /etc/init/startpar-bridge.conf

Looking at the debsums bugs, I suspect this is the same problem
reported in <URL: http://bugs.debian.org/689508 > on 2012-10-03.

The problem at hand now is that sysvinit-utils owned the conffile
/etc/init/startpar-bridge.conf, which was migrated to the startpar
package and changed there.  This causes debsums to claim the file was
changed, because dpkg claim both packages own the file now,
sysvinit-utils with an obsolete ownership, and startpar with a current
ownership.  I believe it should ignore the obsolete file and only look
at the check sum of the current file.
