On general file changes, yes. But again, a package must not change conffiles with scripts, as this will lead to unexpected dpkg conffile prompts and configuration diversion during upgrades. This only works for configuration files which are not managed by dpkg, but handling/upgrading them is a lot harder and much more error prone.
