I am not aware of any limitation for editing it as far as policy is
concerned. On the contrary. The fact that it is under /etc might
suggests that it is under the local admin control. I believe that once
it was placed in /etc it is more a matter of FHS then debian policy. As
for the policy, it requires that
Configuration file handling must conform to the following behavior:
* local changes must be preserved during a package upgrade, and
* configuration files must be preserved when the package is
removed, and only deleted when the package is purged.
(section 11.7.3, Behavior)
Yet the dhcp software itself might have more restricted expectations.

I can see dhcpcd at http://packages.debian.org/dhcpcd . Where did you
find dhcpxd?
