Dpkg distinguishes between config files that always need to be modified
and config files that arrive with a reasonable default. The way to
handle the former is to dynamically generate them during the postinst
script. Such files are not, strictly speaking, handled by the dpkg
database, and will therefor not appear when you do dpkg -L.

As Lior clearly demonstrated, files belonging to the later category WILL
get listed when you do "dpkg -L".
