whenever you keep old config file during upgrade, don't you have also a
.dpkg-dist file? so in our case it should be
/etc/fail2ban.conf.dpkg-dist? That one should have proper description

Besides that there is a /usr/share/doc/fail2ban/examples/ and if you
zgrep files in that directory you should have found a proper config file
(by default fail2ban.conf.iptables.gz is the one which is used) which
gets installed during installation/upgrade

Since the requested information is present in the distributed package, I
would like to close the bug. 

P.S. I will close this bug by adding pointer to
/usr/share/doc/fail2ban/examples/ config files as the sources of
up-to-date config

P.S.S. I believe in the future, config file will not be as self
explanatory as at the moment. Then, may be, man page or some
documentation will be be provided to highlight configuration issues
