Look, you call them _configurations_ yourself, and
that's right - they are configuration files.
Moreover, and more importantly, they are
configuration files:
1. according to The Debian Policy:

2. according to their usage in /etc/init.d/pdnsd
script:

because you pass name of the file with "-c"
option, which denotes config-file:

3. according to syntax, which is the same as that
of de-jure-config-file-of-the-pdnsd-package
(/etc/pdnsd.conf)
4. according to its semantics and effect on pdnsd's
behaviour, which are the same in corresponding
$AUTO_MODE as that of the /etc/pdnsd.conf in
"manual" $AUTO_MODE
5. according to .conf file extension of theirs
As such, local changes to pdnsd-recurse.conf and
pdnsd-resolvconf.conf MUST be preserved on upgrade
and the files MUST be placed in /etc subtree.
That's what The Debian Policy says.
P.S. Christian, what's your opinion on the issue?
