You could try out the package 'changetrack', edit /etc/default/changetrack to ## When set to yes, all conffiles on your system is tracked for ## changes in addition to the ones you put in /etc/changetrack.conf AUTO_TRACK_ALL_CONFFILES=yes and run sudo /etc/cron.daily/changetrack to make sure that all conffiles on your system is listed in /var/lib/changetrack/all_conffiles.txt . >From then on, you will receive email with the diff of your changes and they will be recorded in /var/lib/changetrack. Notice that not all configuration files are dpkg conffiles, so each time you edit a configuration file for the first time, check whether it is in all_conffiles.txt, and if not, manually put it in /etc/changetrack.conf .
