Don't seem to ...

$ cat /var/lib/dpkg/info/*.conffiles | head
/etc/a2ps.cfg
/etc/a2ps-site.cfg
/etc/emacs/site-start.d/50a2ps.el
/etc/bash_completion.d/ack-grep
/etc/acpi/events/powerbtn
/etc/acpi/powerbtn.sh
/etc/init/acpid.conf
/etc/default/acpid
/etc/acpi/events/ac
/etc/acpi/events/asus-brightness-down

No md5sums there.
