If by "held" you mean, "not removed", yes, that's what happens, _even
if_ the conffile was not modified.

Ignore them, and don't remove them on purge either (since the file is
no longer a conffile of the package at the version the purge occurs).
This is a bug in dpkg, see #108587 and its brothers.

Well, if you care you could do something similar to the proposed
solution for #308252.
