OK, so you were affected too, but probably because of your HOME env var
the file was created in /root while probably I had no HOME env var set,
on my system it defaulted to the empty string, making it use the / dir.

I've asked about this on the #debian-dpkg and #debian-apt IRC channels:

<pabs> any opinions, is #992747 a bug in dpkg, apt, unattended-upgrades
or qgis? HOME seems to be unset in unattended-upgrades, causing qgis
maintscripts to create files in /.config instead of /root/.config or
elsewhere. if HOME is set (root login for eg), qgis mainscripts create
files in /root/.config
<pabs> I think I'm leaning towards wanting dpkg to set HOME to a dir
that nothing can write to, not even root. maintscripts shouldn't touch
/root either
