According to the debian packaging rules if there is a configuration change required for an update, and the configuration has been changed, dpkg is required to ask what to do. At that point there are plenty of options to determine what you want to do eg: Install maintainers config, keep your config etc. http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-files.html#s10.7.3 "... must not overwrite or otherwise mangle the user's configuration without asking ... " In short, your locally changed config file should be safe. If you're using a for of debian that does not adhere to this policy, then all bets are off (I'm not aware of any distro ignoring this policy).
