Here is a recent example of one I filed:
http://bugs.debian.org/706911
And my template for that:
Subject: conffiles not removed
Usertags: conffile
User: debian-qa@lists.debian.org
Usertags: obsolete-conffile adequate
The recent upgrade did not deal with obsolete conffiles properly.
Please use the dpkg-maintscript-helper support provided by dh_installdeb
to remove these obsolete conffiles on upgrade.
