That's wrong. This file is a configuration file, and not a conffile.

Well, even if annoying, we cannot do anything about that, because
that's due to the transition to debconf + ucf, and we cannot fix and
get that into sarge anyway. So I'm closing this bug, if you disagree,
please reopen and lower the severity to normal or similar. Although
that will be pointless as that will not happen anymore on
sarge -> etch upgrade, and Debian only supports upgrading from one
release to the next one.
regards,
guillem
