I don't think so. A config file is a file that you can edit with
either a text editor or some specialized configuration tool but a jar
file does not fall into that category.

Didn't they use dpkg-divert to safely replace the existing files? If
not: their fault.

I tend to set the wontfix tag because i think that dpkg-divert is the
right tool.
