Or look for an init.d file in the package, like done in webconf.

There is some code in linuxrc (currently commented out) that would create
a .list file on the fly. It's commented out because it would slow down
booting and cost memory.
But I'm not sure if it's needed. With a normal backup ("save") it is
noticed that the file is gone and it would be removed from the configdb. I
didn't look close enough to your script, but if the sha1sums and .list are
correct a backup will remove the files that no longer exist.
