maybe you dist-upgraded from an earlier version where it used to be as /etc/fail2ban.conf. /usr/share/doc/fail2ban/README.Debian.gz probably has what you are looking for:
Upgrade from 0.6 versions: ------------------------- * New Config Files Format: If you had introduced your own sections in /etc/fail2ban.conf, you would need manually to convert them into a new format. At minimum you need to create /etc/fail2ban/filter.d/NAME.local (leave .conf files for me and upstream please to avoid any conflicts -- introduce your changes in .local) with failregex in [Definition] section.
