Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: x11-apps

Hi,

When upgrading from hardy up-to-date to lucid (today), dpkg detected a
conffile as being modified and prompted me for an action, but this isn't
correct, I didn't modify the file.

Prompt during the upgrade (sorry, in French, but it's just a standard dpkg prompt for modified files) :
Paramétrage de x11-apps (7.5+1ubuntu1) ...

Fichier de configuration « /etc/X11/app-defaults/Xedit »
 ==> Supprimé (par vous ou par un script) depuis l'installation.
 ==> Le distributeur du paquet a fourni une version mise à jour.
   Que voulez-vous faire ? Vos options sont les suivantes :
    Y ou I  : installer la version du responsable du paquet
    N ou O  : garder votre version actuellement installée
      D     : afficher les différences entre les versions
      Z     : suspendre ce processus pour examiner la situation
 L'action par défaut garde votre version actuelle.
*** Xedit (Y/I/N/O/D/Z) [défaut=N] ? y
Installation de la nouvelle version du fichier de configuration /etc/X11/app-defaults/Xedit ...

During the upgrade, update-manager showed no diff between these two
files (empty window)...
