I do not really see the relevance of all these details. How is

You should read policy really. You can't make it a conffile
if you are modifying it in maintainer scripts. And if it is in /etc
you _must_ preserve user changes. Also, all configuration files need
to be in /etc.
Policy is quite clear here.

Either never change the file once created; or preserve user changes.
If you never change the file once created, you have nothing to worry
about. It is only when people are changing files that are already in
place in /etc do questions arise.
