I'm speechless...

No I'm not supposed to preserve local change to internal files of a
package. The place to modify if you want your change kept are changes to
the stuff under /etc. If you modify any other file of the package, well,
then you're on your own. If you want them to be preserved, use
dpkg-divert. _That_ is what the policy says.
