I also filed a wish (#163657) for this. Something like this is
needed so that one package can hijack as a configuration file
what used to belong to another package as a conffile.
I'm sending these cross references in to #163657 for the record.
Martin Michlmayr's wish:

AJT's proposal:

AJT's remark that this is also needed by the cruft program:
