Hi Alastair,

Newt's colour palettes added into /etc/newt/ are going to end up removed
when upgrading or installing whiptail from Config-Files state due to the
following one-liner in the libnewt0.52.preinst file:

    rm -f /etc/newt/palette*

This is quite harsh. Could you please drop it so that one can easily use a
system-wide palette?

Cheers,
Vincent
