What "apt-cache showsrc ..." says doesn't matter. The point is what
the Debian Policy says. If it isn't followed and some new package
creates a /etc/default/... file that clashes with some other package
because of that, there would be a problem (with potential data loss).
The fact that the filename is close to the package name is not
sufficient to avoid problems.
