-y causes enabling the init-script by default if the package is installed for the first time (not during an update). -Y forcefully enables the service. This means the service is always activated regardless of the setting before an update.
So on upgrades, -y won't do anything and people who had pm-utils before this service was added won't have this service enabled by default. I'm pretty sure using -Y is an abuse, since people disabling the service would have to manually disable it again.
Any idea on how to best solve this?
Have a look at the open-vm-tools package, where we ran into that issue at one point as well (a service got renamed, and we wanted to keep it's state).
Ups.. actually just checked... we only 'clean up the old mess'... the service is installed with insserv_and_fillup -Y (as we are rather safe in assuming that if you install this package you do want the service.. the package is normally auto dragged in on a virtual machine).
