As I understand it. That is *exactly* how conffiles work. If the
upstream md5sum hasn't changed, then dpkg won't ask you about it. If
dpkg does ask you about it, it's because it has changed upstream, and
you may need to know about it. The problem right now AFAIK is that
the apt people keep changing it upstream. Hopefully that will stop
soon.
