These files are properly listed as configuration files in the dpkg
metadata of the package:
$ cat /var/lib/dpkg/info/gridsite.conffiles
/var/lib/gridsite/.gacl
/var/lib/gridsite/gridsitefoot.txt
/var/lib/gridsite/gridsitehead.txt
/etc/apache2/sites-available/gridsite.conf
/etc/apache2/mods-available/zgridsite.load
/etc/apache2/mods-available/zgridsite.conf
They are handled by the normal configure file mechanism in dpkg, and the
md5sums are tracked in the package status, the same way it is for other
configuration files.
$ dpkg --status gridsite
Package: gridsite
Status: install ok installed

On package upgrade the files are managed correctly by dpkg. There is no
need for any additional managing using maintainer scripts. If the file
in the new package differs from the file in the old package the file is
replaced if the installed file has not been changed and otherwise not.
Which is the expected behaviour.
I don't see where the bug is here.
