I was worried about what would happen in the following scenario:
 * The user changes his IP to 192.168.0.1 from /etc/network/interfaces.
 * Karmic changes dhcpd.conf to use 192.168.0.254 instead of 192.168.0.1.
 * Debconf silently upgrades the user's dhcpd.conf, since he hasn't modified it.

In this scenario, his setup would brake on upgrade.

Thanks a lot! :-)
