Yes. The uniform headers are introduced when the file is touched
anyway. A conffile change causes prompts for a lot of users on package
installations, so we rather refrain from doing gratuitous changes in
comments.

I agree that having uniform headers is nice, but I also think that not
bothering users with dpkg-conffiles prompts during update for comment
changes is the more important things.

The uniform headers are going to be introduced when the files are
touched anyway for the next time.

Thanks for caring, and thanks for your patch.

Greetings
Marc
