I find the docs: https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/maint-guide/dother.en.html#conffiles it mentioned one solution is: "Create a file generated by the maintainer scripts under the /etc directory" So I need to remove the config entry in .install file, and move it to .doc, so it will be installed to /usr/share/doc/<pkg> just let the postinst script to generate a new config under /etc should be fine.
