Package: mldonkey-server
Version: 3.0.3-2
Severity: serious

mldonkey renames downloads.ini to downloads.dpkg on upgrade and
installs a new downloads.ini without migrating the settings. As
a result, mldonkey starts up with different settings after an
upgrade.

I think this is a policy violation, even though the configuration
file is not in /etc (which is in and of itself also a policy
violation). The configuration file might not be designed to be
user-editable, but a change to a global setting made via the GUI
should not be overwritten on an upgrade either.
