That's the kind of situation I want to improve with my config-model project.
In this case, the goal is to merge user configuration with new package data
without requiring user interaction.
I hoped to have more feedback in order to better target the packages that
needed to be improved. Given the lack of response, I guess that I will target
package that bother me most often during upgrades (like cups)...

This one is more weird as the config file was modified by something, most
often a post-install script. IMHO, this should be considered as a bug.
All the best
