This variant of remove_conffile_prepare looks for the given conffile's
canonical md5sum in dpkg's status database itself instead of using
provided values.
This target wasn't kept up to date and was totally broken for the git
world. The way we use git has made this target pretty well impossible to
use in any form, so it's been supersceded by a script that is currently
located at

* Fix debian/rules to not be confused by ~/.quiltrc or QUILT_PATCHES (as in #369920).
* Display which patches are applied and removed instead of just the first one (for #428090).
* Have the drivers use the file serverminver instead of serverabiver in order
to generate the versioned dependency on the server. This is clearer
naming.
* Use serverabiver to actually store the server's video ABI version. This
is used to generate the Provides: line for drivers so the server can
depend on them properly. This goes in to the substvar
xviddriver:Provides.
