Fixing it in wheezy will be more tricky and will be too late for jessie
anyway. So just fix it in jessie instead. The regular
dpkg-maintscript-helper approach can be used to clean up the fallout
from the squeeze->wheezy update during the wheezy->jessie update (while
it will be a no-op on fresh wheezy installations on their upgrade to
jessie).
