Yes, please do so once we have a patch we both agree on and if you
have a test platform where you can test the package before upload.

This still looks insecure to me, because it will match a ucf-managed
file named /etc/other-package/etc/mailman/foo/bar, or, perhaps more
probable /etc/mailman-extension/foo/bar . What about (untested)
for file in $(sed -e '\|^[0-9a-fA-F]\+[[:space:]]\+/etc/mailman/|!d' -e
's|^[0-9a-fA-F]\+[[:space:]]\+||' /var/lib/ucf/hashfile); do
?
