Your configuration files will remain intact and unchanged during an
upgrade as long as you always answer "no" when asked whether you want
to accept the maintainers config file. And even if you say "yes",
those files are backed up with a .dpkg-<something> extension, which
you can restore.
Debian has a strong commitment to not breaking stuff during upgrades.
Best wishes,
Mike
