Is there a good way to fix that?

Well, this is the only way it comes to mind:

Before dpkg prompts about the file, calculate md5sum, if upgrading
from bookworm and the md5sum matches the one in bookworm,
quietly replace the file by the new one.

Would this avoid dpkg's prompt?

I don't know exactly. I have seen packages that do creative things to rectify such situations.

For it to work, it would have to be done "soon" in the upgrade path
(would any of preinst/postinst/prerm/postrm be appropriate?)

I imagine some preinst hacks will be necessary.
