Perhaps you could and basically I will leave the
real method to maitainer of each package.
But, at least, 10jadetex.cnf should not be a conffile
so that you can modify/delete it safely.
I guess it will be enough if it happens either
- both jadetex.ltx and 10jadetex.cnf exist
or
- neither is there.
(Umm, I'm not sure if my english is correct.)

I hope so too.

I suspect this might be Debian specific issue because our
policy prohibits to modify a conffile.
