I don't see how there is any way to handle rename and takeofer of 
conffiles at the same time at all. If the rename is done in apache2.2-
common, how would it know if something went wrong and it has to revert 
the changes?

I think dpkg needs to provide an explicit interface for marking 
conffiles as removed. Or piuparts should just ignore missing obsolete 
conffiles.

But I will do an upload that removes the obsolete conffiles. Then 
doing tests with the renamed/taken over conffiles may become easier.
