Relax ... the packaging system has a mechanism to ensure that
dpkg knows which files are cofiguration files.  These are not
overwritten.  Some packages might say an updated default conf
is available, and they will stop and ask you what to do during
the update.

Any conf file overwriting is classed as a bug.
