Ok, that is an ancient version of the file. As I suspected when your bug report arrived, there is a logical error in the preinst. A user can install adduser 3.114 or older, then upgrade through the regular ways to 3.123. The preinst currently checks for the package version AND the checksum, so 3.114's config file during an upgrade from 3.123 is not recognized properly. I have reworked the preinst and removed most of the version checks.
