I'm still stumped by the claim that the configuration is being removed during the wheezy->jessie upgrade. Removing a pacakge during an upgrade SHOULD NOT remove the configuration (i.e. it should be a "remove" rather than a "purge"). So, the "obvious" answer would seem to be "upgrade to jessie, then upgrade to stretch, then reinstall the pacemaker package, and it should still see the old configs". Of course this is assuming the old configs are compatible with the new version of the package. I know absolutely nothing about this specific package. According to http://packages.debian.org/pacemaker there is also a backport of the stretch version of the package in the jessie-backports repository. So perhaps there is some way to convince the jessie upgrade to use the jessie-backports version of this package rather than removing it. But that's beyond my experience.
