The packager has to mark them as so-called conffiles. Files going to /etc are these days, by default, conffiles (so the packager would have to go out of their way for it to not be so).

If that release comes with a new config file, you will be asked at installation time whether you want to keep your old config file or install the new one. You'll be offered to see a diff between your version and the new one, and in any case, the "other" file (your old, modified file or the new one) is kept under a different name. Debian always does this with configuration files. Cheers -- t signature.asc Description: PGP signature
Do I have to worry about system zsh config files getting wiped out?
If I make changes to the config files in /etc/zsh, do I have to worry about them getting overwritten if I do an upgrade to the next major Debian release?
