I too remember that it was a simple command. I ran into it when I was
installing Etch testing on my AMD64 system. Look in the amd64 list
archives. It was a one-word command that forced dpkg-reconfigure to
overwrite the file when it wouldn't do it. And yes, the problem applied
to a file that the user hadn't altered at all.
It may be dexconf. It unconditionally overwrites its destination file
without checking if it has been altered.
