No. That is where mine is on bookworm.

I see two differences between yours and mine. Mine has no comments
after the first actual parameter, and a space and a slash (\) after each
line thereafter. This suggests that the program expects to read in one
line for appending to the command line.
If you run "ddclient --help" you will get some help and some examples.
e.g. (with obvious redaction:
root@issola:/etc# cat ddclient.conf
# Configuration file for ddclient generated by debconf
#
# /etc/ddclient.conf
# entries above the blank line provided by c^2 from the freeman
# configuration.
