aprsc 2.1.19: Fix aprsc.conf conffile handling on Debian

[Heikki Hannikainen]

aprsc 2.1.19 is now available.

Upgrading on Debian / Ubuntu:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo reboot (to run the new kernel if it was updated)

Upgrading on Fedora:

sudo dnf upgrade
sudo reboot (to run the new kernel if it was updated)

FreeBSD:

Changes in 2.1.19:

* On Debian, since aprsc 2.1.18, aprsc.conf got overwritten on every
package upgrade / reinstall.

This happened due to a slightly surprising change in debhelper
compatibility level 12, which insists all config files in a package must
be in /etc. There used to be a standard way to override this and say we
have a config file in /opt/aprsc/etc/aprsc.conf which needs to handled as
one, but it has been removed and the file then got overwritten.

The issue didn't hit my servers as I run Ubuntu, and Ubuntu has apparently
fixed this with a patch in their debhelper builds. Only users of Debian
were affected.

Just one observation after upgrade, the invoked magic to restart the service without dropping active users does not run.

I attempted to do so manually but the option is no longer available! 

Now I should add that I'm using a pi4 & PiOS64 Lite as the base OS. I've built the deb for the operating system aarch64.

Cheers
