It's not very clear from the documentation, but that looks correct.
The fact that "dpkg -s procps", for example, shows this line is not a bug.

The bug was certain programs would complain about the missing file.
I note the example given for reportbug is fixed and it no longer complains.

So unless there is another program that has a problem with the file then
this bug
is fixed. It's not the only packages with files in this state:

$ dpkg -s  | grep 'newconffile remove-on-upgrade'
 /etc/gnome/defaults.list newconffile remove-on-upgrade
 /etc/dbus-1/system.d/org.freedesktop.ModemManager1.conf newconffile
remove-on-upgrade
 /etc/dbus-1/system.d/org.freedesktop.PackageKit.conf newconffile
remove-on-upgrade
 /etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg.d/pkg-config-hook-config newconffile remove-on-upgrade
 /etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg.d/pkgconf-hook-config newconffile remove-on-upgrade
 /etc/postfix/postfix-script newconffile remove-on-upgrade
 /etc/postfix/post-install newconffile remove-on-upgrade
 /etc/sysctl.conf newconffile remove-on-upgrade
 /etc/dbus-1/system.d/org.freedesktop.realmd.conf newconffile
remove-on-upgrade
 /etc/dbus-1/system.d/org.rpm.conf newconffile remove-on-upgrade
 /etc/dbus-1/system.d/wpa_supplicant.conf newconffile remove-on-upgrade
