What "works" is to put

-c /etc/thinkfan.conf

into DAEMON_ARGS in /etc/default/thinkfan, i.e. use the old config.
 
In the meantime I've converted the old .conf to a new .yaml for my
Thinkpad, starting from the example config in /etc and the new
thinkfan.conf manpage.

I have no good idea for handling this on upgrades; _maybe_ shipping a
more minimal/generic /etc/thinkpad.yaml would help (the current one
is a huge exmple file with all kinds of options and will probably not
work for any machine); or ship it as an example and nothing in /etc
(which of course also breaks updates but apparently there's no good
way out of this).


Cheers,
