I'd say

  <item>Packages should remove all obsolete configuration files without
  local changes during upgrades.  The <prgn>dpkg-maintscript-helper</prgn>
  tool, available from the <package>dpkg</package> package since
  <em>Wheezy</em>, can help with this.
  </item>

to emphasize what packagers have to do instead of what changed in the
text.

But even without that tweak, this patch looks fine.

Thanks much for taking care of it.
Jonathan
