Don't trust anything in the appendix. That stuff tends to be way out of

Just replace them with the original files. You may have a
/etc/deconf.conf.dpkg-dist file--this is the unmodified file from the
package.
The system will never really "take control" of a conffile. If you've
made changes, dpkg will prompt you about it when trying to upgrade the
file.
