Sorry, but that is just not correct. Obsolete conffiles should be removed by the maintainer scripts. See for example: http://wiki.debian.org/DpkgConffileHandling In this case I think that it would be OK to remove the file even if the user had modified it (which is extremely unlikely in this case). Reason: the file cannot possibly have any function on the system if modutils is not installed. Please check with, for example, Steve Langasek if you would like confirmation (note: he may not necessarily agree with the last paragraph).
