Bug#108587: dpkg: Upgrade of hotplug thinks conffiles are modified

[root <jlquinn@us.ibm.com>]

Package: dpkg
Version: 1.9.18

dpkg incorrectly thinks that /etc/hotplug/hotplug.functions was modified and asks
me to resolve diffs during upgrade from hotplug 0.0.20010919-10 to 
hotplug_0.0.20020114-4
