Maybe you could use what pabs (Paul Wise) did in #815563, in that the
proper thing to do would be -

Use the dpkg-maintscript-helper support provided by dh_installdeb to
remove such similar obsolete conffiles on upgrade

Also https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-files.html#s-config-files

You can also see manpage of dh_installdeb vid debhelper package which
is the same thing.

I ran the same command as he did -

[$] pkg=imagemagick-6-common ; adequate $pkg ; dpkg-query -W
-f='${Conffiles}\n' $pkg | grep obsolete

You could potentially use

OR/and

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?dist=unstable;tag=obsolete-conffile;users=debian-qa@lists.debian.org#_4_4_5

All of the bugs which are resolved therein are the same obsolete
conffile issues.

Hope the above helps in getting the above fixed.
