There will unlikely be a change in the shipped default configuration
file once the packages are in the stable distribution. If only the
users configfile is changed and not the shipped one, dpkg will silently
keep the users version.
Similar, the user did not touch the shipped file and the package
contains a new file, dpkg will silently update the configfile. dpkg will
only ask if both the user and the package modified the configfile.

So I currently see no need to do extra work here or is there a situation
I did not thought about?
