All "force" options must be setted by admin explicitly.This is only the case on the first install of the dpkg package, when the package is being configured. Since d-i does not use dpkg to install dpkg, the postinst is never called with --configure, and as such an install using d-i will not create the file. This is by design, so that the installer can modify the contents of the fileif required.
Yes, I installed debian from scratch to deeply invetigate it. And I expect properly working packages without d-i. If you need /etc/dpkg/dpkg.conf for d-i - touch it, don't copy it from example.
