Triggers run the postinst maintainer script with triggered, so
I’d say the logic gets called from both that and postinst configure,
so a dpkg-reconfigure will also call the logic, so we don’t need to
split it out into a separate script.

I don’t understand this.

If we use ucf to manage the files in /etc/init.d/ then we of course
use it to manage only these for the packages which scan as present?

Handle triggering package addition/removal the same as new conffile
or removal of a conffile on package upgrade, ucf-wise.
