Control: tag -1 patch

Hi Ben,

attached is a patch that improves the handling of initramfs.conf
That's a lot of code - but most of it was stolen from
dpkg-maintscript-helper :-) (preinst/postrm from rm_conffile, postinst
from from mv_conffile with slight modifications)
It's currently set to be very verbose: mvverbose=-v
that should be changed to mvverbose=#-v for production.

There is also a 1-line .maintscript file being added that takes care of
/etc/bash_completion.d/initramfs-tools conffile removal

This passed a piuparts jessie -> stretch upgrade (unmodified conffile)
and a manual jessie -> stretch upgrade with a modified conffile.
