I don't know if there is a way to tell the difference between dpkg-reconfigure vs initial install though (I am not a DD and haven't really delved into the intricacies of packaging). If there is then the solution would be to add a check. I do know that other packages, such as apt-listchanges and debsums (and a few others I can't remember at the moment) take the info from the configuration files over debconf - maybe they have something that will help?
