I think this old bug is now fixed.
Yann, can you check with a recent dpkg?
I'm thinking about the following changelog entries:
* On package configuration, differentiate between modified and
deleted configuration files (Ian Jackson). Closes: #351361
* Improve processing of disappearing conffiles (Ian Jackson).
This is part of the fix for #108587.
Also, if I delete a conf file on my system and then update the package, I can
make a diff between the current (non-existent) file and the new configuration
file, and I can update the package without any problems.
Kind Regards,
