did you check "apt-cache showsrc ..."

Not exactly in any way now but close enough

> /etc/default/apache2 created by apache2.2-common
Package: apache2
Binary: apache2.2-common, apache2.2-bin, apache2-mpm-worker,
apache2-mpm-prefork, apache2-mpm-event, apache2-mpm-itk, apache2-utils,
apache2-suexec, apache2-suexec-custom, apache2, apache2-doc,
apache2-prefork-dev, apache2-threaded-dev, apache2-dbg

So this is following source package name

> /etc/default/bluetooth created by bluez
Package: bluez
Binary: libbluetooth3, libbluetooth3-dbg, libbluetooth-dev, bluetooth,
bluez, bluez-dbg, bluez-alsa, bluez-gstreamer, bluez-cups,
bluez-pcmcia-support, bluez-compat, bluez-utils, bluez-audio

So this is following a associated package name from the same source
package

> /etc/default/bootlogd created by initscripts

Package: sysvinit
Binary: sysvinit, sysvinit-utils, sysv-rc, initscripts
sysvinit-utils: /sbin/bootlogd
initscripts: /etc/default/bootlogd

...

and the rests are almost same situation.  Some are shorthand name ... others
are one of those associated package name.
