The current method is correct. In the ftdetect scripts you can check
for 'filetype' being equal to "conf" and then do ":set ft=anything" to
overrule it. Use ":setf" only when you don't want to overrule the
default filetype.
The idea is that you can also do something like:
if &ft == 'python' && SomeCheck()
set ft=notpython
elseif &ft == 'conf' && SomeOtherCheck()
set ft=myconf
endif
