Oh.  Thank you very much Stéphane for the explanations.  Much
apprecated, you did it well.

And I stand corrected, -- somehow I thought it is about renaming
some older conffiles, which were present long ago, before 0.9alpha.
Original patch lacked any comments at all, and my imagination created
an incorrect version of reality.

I'm sorry for the noize.

Thank you again!
