This seems like a bit of an abuse of conffiles, as those files aren't really intended for user modification. It seems like this is a pretty niche use case that doesn't apply to the vast majority of users. Have you looked at dpkg-divert? This can be used to force packages to install specific files

Hi, Netronome would like to propose the following fix, which is to mark the symlinks as conffiles. This produces a debian package which does not overwrite the symlinks when installed. ** Patch added: "0001-UBUNTU-Mark-netronome-firmware-symlinks-as-config-fi.patch"
