No, dpkg won't remove unused configuration files upon upgrading, and it
won't do so upon downgrading, either. For the upgrading case, the
maintainer scripts has to take care - rename the file in preinst, take
over settings, moving out of the way or whatever. For the downgrading
case, we don't provide any support.
dpkg will *only* remove a file when the package is purged.
