How about the other way around? Then a new package will never hurt
existing users. And once people believe they want the config  upgrade to
be automated they can add a placeholder file to do so from that moment on.

This would be the failsafe way to it. Only if
/etc/MailScanner/automate-config-updates is present this should be done
automagically. (Or by whatever other name Jules likes to call the file.)
