I'm not sure that this is the correct approach for capability.conf -
it's not an obsolete conffile, it has moved to libpam-cap instead (which
it Recommends)

The rm_conffile is fine as long as libpam-cap is not installed, but I'm
not sure whether this runs smoothly if libpam-cap is upgraded at the
same time ...

I even added some workarounds in piuparts for a related issue (a
conffile was disappearing sometimes, but never from the reference
chroot) - since I didn't really see a fault in your packages:

        case ${PIUPARTS_OBJECTS%%=*} in
                kismet|\
                tshark|\
                wireshark|\
                wireshark-common|\
                wireshark-dbg|\
                libcap2-bin)
                        # libcap2-bin/wheezy is part of the minimal
chroot and recommends libpam-cap
                        # a conffile moved from libcap2-bin/squeeze to
libpam-cap/wheezy
                        log_debug
                        apt-get install -yf libpam-cap
                        ;;

That said, the versioning in the maintscript is wrong as well. This
needs to be the version where the rm_conffile call was added (plus
suffix '~', so it is "before" the current version), not the version that
stopped shipping the conffile. Ideally both versions are the same. But
since this isn't even a normal removal ...
