Unless I'm completely mistaken the discussion is a bit artificial since
dpkg won't reinstall a conffile upon upgrade unless you purged the
package before. Hence you won't get two stanzas of your cronjob at the
same time anyway. Thus, you can mostly ignore your problem, since moving
the file to another location will be threated as if the administrator
removed the file entirely.
A responsible maintainer maybe would use dpkg-divert instead of simply
moving the file, but thats bonus (and does not work too well for conffiles).
