Does you mean, postinst is not allowed to change the default logging path
in this config file? How would be the right way? With debconf?

The warning appear while booting and udev will be started. But some weeks
ago I have found that this warning still appears, because the first part
of the udev rule for capi4hylafax is the same as a default udev rule in
file /lib/udev/rules.d/50-udev-default.rules.

Independent of the way: capi4hylafax have a default configuration which 
expect a device /dev/faxCAPI which must show to the device /dev/capi20.

If you think both changes are unnecessary or insanely, then we don't need
this update of the package for wheezy.
