This bug (the lack of proper handling of a disappeared conffile) also causes a spurious conffile prompt in the following case: A version 1: /etc/zork.conf, conffile A version 2: no file B version 1: no file B version 2: /etc/zork.conf, conffile
Now if A is upgraded before B, then after A's upgrade the conffile is left existing but dpkg has forgotten all about it. Then when B is upgrade it looks like the user wrote the conffile and you get a prompt. I agree with Thomas Hood's specification of the correct behaviour, except that I would say that .dpkg-old is a perfectly good name for the obsolete file.
