What upgrade are you referring too? I can’t see any conffile being
dropped since Jessie:

$ debdiff ../xul-ext-adblock-plus-element-hiding-helper_1.3{-1,.2-2}_all.deb 
[The following lists of changes regard files as different if they have
different names, permissions or owners.]

Files in second .deb but not in first

Please provide more information on the problem that has been spotted.

This command doesn’t output anything for me, what am I missing? If this
problem has been detected automatically somewhere accessible, a pointer
to the log or machine that ran it could be worth it.
