dpkg still prompts for input on conffile changes.  

i suppose if one were to nitpick it's not in a maintainer script per
se, but it is part of the install/upgrade process and is problematic in
the same way for noninteractive/gui installs as what policy is trying to
solve in 3.9.1.  thus i'd say it's rather an unintentional omission
of policy than something that could be overlooked.
