Yes, but the *.dpkg-new files are not the problem. The real problem
is the fact that the config files in /etc/vga are broken symlinks:

/etc/vga:
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root           17 Feb 21 02:46 libvga.config -> vga/libvga.config
-rw-r--r--   1 root     root         1789 Feb  3 03:36 libvga.config.dpkg-new
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root           17 Feb 21 02:46 libvga.et4000 -> vga/libvga.et4000
-rw-r--r--   1 root     root         4715 Feb  3 03:36 libvga.et4000.dpkg-new

It works after removing the broken links and moving the *.dpkg-new
files back to libvga.config and libvga.et4000.
