There are certainly other ways to handle it, as Gergely points out, but
it's not a bug as such. Policy explicitly allows for configuration files
in /etc that are not conffiles and so aren't in the .deb and aren't
listed in 'dpkg -S' output, so long as they follow the rules for how
configuration files must be handled.
