I was taught by a Japanese developer that man debhelper said

       V3  This is the reccommended mode of operation.  Setting
           DH_COMPAT=3 does everything V2 does, plus:

           -       Debhelper config files support globbing via *
                   and ?, when appropriate. To turn this off and
                   use those characters raw, just prefix with a
                   backslash.

           -       dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst and postrm
                   scripts call ldconfig.

           -       Every file in etc/ is automatically flagged as
                   a conffile by dh_installdeb.

I don't know if it can be supressed with some options.
I hope this is what you asked.
