I just noticed that when I rewrote the conffile removal code in initscripts recently, I copied code from http://wiki.debian.org/DpkgConffileHandling and accidently replaced the code that created *.dpkg-old files with code that would create *.dpkg-bak. I will change this back in initscripts. I would recommend that someone fix the wiki page to use *.dpkg-old as well.
