How so? As an admin you can always comment out any conf.d file completely
if you don't want what is in there. After which dpkg will come with the
usual prompt at package upgrade about the conf-file being changed allowing
you to keep it that way without any effort.
How is this significantly different from any other configuration provided by
packages?

1. Encrypted mail preferred (GPG KeyID: 0x86624ABB)
2. Plain-text mail recommended since I move html and double
format mails to a low priority folder (they're mainly spam)
