That's a really good question. ucf is supposed to take care of this type of stuff - knowing when a config file was changed by the admin and when it was only changed by the package. ucf support appeared in gpm 1.19.6-15, over a year ago (and yes, gpm ucf support is in sarge), so I don't think your bug is related to the transition from conffile to ucf. Smells like a bug in ucf itself, but if so, I wonder why it doesn't hit other users and other packages. My understanding is very incomplete at this time.
