I would put the code in the "else" of this "if".

A better solution could be get the md5sum of /etc/inittab, and compare 
it with the one of the current version (the one with old paths): if they 
match, then the user did not change it at all, and it can be just 
replaced; if does not match, either ask the user what to do, or simply 
move the old file as .dpkg-old and put the new in place, of course 
warning the user about that.
