I think there is at least one exception:
(from version 2.5.0.0 of the Policy Manual
4.7. Configuration files
------------------------
* * * *
If two or more packages use the same configuration file, one of these
packages has to be defined as _owner_ of the configuration file, i.e.,
it has to list the file as `conffile' and has to provide a program
that modifies the configuration file.
The other packages have to depend on the _owner_ package and use that
program to update the configuration file.
