Did I get this wrong?
Well the problem is, that it *was* handled as dpkg conffile (and still is on any legacy) installation... so what would have needed to be done in the first place was perhaps something like: - cp -a it to temp location - rm_conffile it - move it back and from then on handle it via ucf But I'm not an expert... perhaps it's rather best if you'd ask at debian-devel or maybe the dpkg maintainers on how such a case should be handled?
