Am I reading the maintainer scripts correctly in that they modify
(or at least attempt to modify) several files not shipped by the
package, including /etc/services and /etc/csh.login, both of which
are conffiles?

thought about this issue specifically but my (re)reading exactly fits

the package in question but also in previous versions).
Yep. :-( At least for the /etc/services case, it looks like the
desired change is already in the default file in squeeze, so the code
could likely be removed with no ill effect.
