Please stop this discussion now. Everyone has the right to ask whether a certain aspect of our policy is reasonable or not. That's an important part of keeping the high quality of our distribution.
The current discussion made it very clear to me that we have good reasons for making every /etc/init.d script a conffile. There will be no change in policy WRT this subject. Santiago has just filed a wish-list bug report (#16199) against the policy package and requests that I add a rationale to the statement. I think that's a good idea.
