Unfortunately no version information for the package included.

But looking at this it seems you installed the old and buggy package
from sarge, which has a lot more problems than these ones. :)
We are waiting for the new package to move from unstable to testing, if
no RC bugs are found andmips get build this should happen in about 6
days.

It wont get created in the newer one from unstable.
It moved and that gets created.

As the admin needs to change these values in either way, thats not soo
important, but will get corrected in one of the next uploads.

Could be made long-term, asking some debconf questions and doing the
right things then. Easy todo.
