Why are these files not updated on upgrades properly? ucf could be used

nothing strange here:

setup minimal wheezy chroot - no libwrap0 needed
distupgrade jessie - pulls libwrap0

snapshot reference system and start over

setup minimal wheezy chroot - no libwrap0 needed
install package to be tested: libwrap0

distupgrade jessie - upgrades libwrap0
