Hi Mathew,
Apologies - we usually triage bugs as they come in but this one appears
to have slipped through the cracks somehow.
You're right, normally config files should not get overwritten during
upgrades, and in fact the upgrader is supposed to prompt you if it does,
displaying the changes. I'm not as familiar with aptitude, I generally
upgrade from the command line. I don't know for these particular files
but it certainly has behaved that way with other files.
Would you be willing to try reproducing this behavior, but using `apt-
get update; apt-get dist-upgrade` instead and see if it again overwrites
them without a prompt? If it does, then we should probably work up a
synthetic test case to reproduce it, and work on a fix. If it does not,
then perhaps the real issue is an aptitude mis-behavior?
