Of course not. It's a config file. So all your changes (including
removing) are preserved over upgrades and remove/install cycles. If you
want to remove all traces of Tor from your system you need to purge it
(which will also remove your /var/lib/tor and all). Then installing it
again will create the conffiles again.

Yes. More than once. "--chuid toruser:toruser" was never part of my
package.
