In a very quick analysis I found that all the packages (on my system)
that use "if dpkg-maintscript-helper supports ..." are affected.

daniel@daydream:~$ grep dpkg-maintscript-helper /var/lib/dpkg/info/*.postinst  | grep support
/var/lib/dpkg/info/apparmor.postinst:if dpkg-maintscript-helper supports rm_conffile; then
/var/lib/dpkg/info/libreoffice-common.postinst:	if dpkg-maintscript-helper supports rm_conffile; then
/var/lib/dpkg/info/libreoffice-common.postinst:	if dpkg-maintscript-helper supports mv_conffile; then
