Hello Damyan!
Thank you for your reply!

The whole point of dpkg conffile handling is that in general you need
to know about the fact that the conffile was changed in the package
and may want to integrate the changes in the local version. Otherwise
the package may break.
Can you give an example of a package that blindly ignores new versions
of modified conffiles?
I believe apache2-mpm-prefork + apache2-common does this, for example. If
there is a .dpkg-dist file present, it overwrites that one instead, does
not prompt, and keeps the current conffile.
Best regards,
Björn
