For the record, the correct page is 
http://wiki.debian.org/DpkgConffiileHandling . I abandoned the second 
part, that simply keeps the modified version overruling any changes in 
the packaged conffile. I think it is better to use the normal conflict 
resolution provided by dpkg.

Change committed.
