Of course. I don't mean to ignore the difficulty in determining who/what
made the mess and cleaning it up correctly and automatically.

Rather than writing the problem off as unsolvable, wouldn't it be better to
include a notification in the package (as a debconf template item) or in the
lenny release notes, to eliminate the chance of locally generated mail
quietly breaking unnoticed after the upgrade?
