Lintian's internal data structures currently hold only one value for
each conffile (the name) and have to be modified. I am working on a
solution.

As for Lintian triggering the tag, I did not see it locally on
bullseye. It only happens when the package is built in
unstable—presumably due to updated versions of Debhelper and Dpkg
there.

Kind regards
