What about modifying the format of conffiles to allow: <conffile>[ <old conffile>] Which would let dpkg know that it should look for <old conffile> and rename it to <conffile> (usual change-detection should apply); if it doesn't exist then just install the new file. A debhelper script could later ease the editing of conffiles for that pourpose.
