Well there must have been at least one version release the where it
wasn't set properly, because otherwise I couldn't have seen the file as
obsolete conffile on my system :-)
I had only a short glance on it now, but AFAICs:
1.12~rc1-1 was the version that had the file dropped as conffile (but
not cleaned up
1.12-1 hadn't fixed it either
1.12-2 removed the conffile, but with 1.12-1~
AFAIU the dpkg-maintscript-helper manpage, this means that anyone who
had installed 1.12-1 won't have the file ever cleaned up, as 1.12-1~
won't trigger it.
Instead, if you upload e.g. in the future 1.12-3, you'd need to use
1.12-3~ as version.
Cheers,
Chris.
