As long as all policies from:

https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-files.html#configuration-
files

and other packaging guidelines are kept, there should be no issues.

But, the intent here is something else in my understanding: to avoid
breakage so the SRU is accepted by the SRU team. Let's say an user has
the environment configured and working and suddenly we decide to move
correctly configured files to .bak just because the binaries were
updated and we "thought" it could be better.

That would break an environment for no reason.

Like open-iscsi iqn generation, we want also to make sure that generated
uuids/iqns/nqns are NOT wiped in the package purging (thus the test in
my first comment for Groovy). We have to make sure the Focal version
also behaves like that... just like open-iscsi does:

[rafaeldtinoco@work iscsi]$ ls
initiatorname.iscsi  iscsid.conf

[rafaeldtinoco@work iscsi]$ apt-file list open-iscsi | grep etc
open-iscsi: /etc/default/open-iscsi
open-iscsi: /etc/init.d/iscsid
open-iscsi: /etc/init.d/open-iscsi
open-iscsi: /etc/iscsi/iscsid.conf

where /etc/iscsi/initiatorname.iscsi is not wiped (cause it contains the
iqn).

Makes sense to you both ?
