I don't see any weird conffile handling in pptpd's maintainer scripts.
However, it seems to me that somehow debsums got confused:
>> dpkg-deb -I pptpd_1.3.4-5_amd64.deb conffiles
/etc/pptpd.conf
/etc/ppp/pptpd-options
/etc/init.d/pptpd
/etc/ppp/pptpd-options
/etc/init.d/pptpd
/etc/pptpd.conf
That is, the conffiles get registered multiple times. Moreover, the
debdiff between the two debs looks fishy:
>> debdiff pptpd_1.3.4-3_amd64.deb pptpd_1.3.4-5_amd64.deb

As maintainer, I would probably update the debhelper 4 based packaging
to debhelper 9, and set the permission modes when installing the
conffiles to semsible values. However, I do not think that such a
change would be in scope of an acceptable change during the wheezy
freeze, nor is this something that should be done without the
maintainer's agreement.
Rene, what do you think about this RC bug?
