The submitter said 'fresh install' and the conffile isn't maintained by
dpkg but created later on at runtime of synaptic.
At least that is how it is in unstable/testing version 0.75.1.
But looking at the changelog version 0.75 states:
* make sure /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99synaptic is mode 644
(LP: #637157)
So it indeed a bug fixed in unstable and (still) open in stable.
(just setting found/fixed - done looks like 'maintainer business' here)
