hello,
[Sorry, I already sent this mail, but to the wrong bug. Also I received a
delivery failure from the submitter's MX (Connection timed out)]
I think this bug is closed in the dpkg of unstable. Richard, can you test
with a newer version?

Do you mean there were no pre-existing versions of the config files or of
the package?
In the first case, it may be a bug or maybe you deleted these files.
In the second case, I don't understand why you received the message.

In the newer versions, the message is slightly different. And there is no
warnings. If I understand correctly your use case, you will have the
following message:
Configuration file `/etc/X11/xkb/keymap/sgi/sk'
==> Deleted (by you or by a script) since installation.
==> Package distributor has shipped an updated version.
What would you like to do about it ? Your options are:
Y or I : install the package maintainer's version
N or O : keep your currently-installed version
D : show the differences between the versions
Z : background this process to examine the situation
The default action is to keep your current version.
*** test-package.conf (Y/I/N/O/D/Z) [default=N] ? y
Installing new version of config file /etc/X11/xkb/keymap/sgi/sk ...
