Ok... I think I have sorted it out.
The package uses debconf to "manage" the config file but it has a bug regarding 
the handling of the default value for eventhandler.
I made a small change to debian/config that takes care of the problem 
(hopefully).
It basicly sets eventhandler to an empty string in debconf if it reads a 
@EVENTHANDLER@ from the /etc/smsd.conf

With this patch I have made clean installs and upgrades from both -1 and
-1ubuntu0.1 without any problems.
