Well, I've found what happened.

I've found the bug just after the install, and seems that I had 0.96-3 
(2010-11-26 ~02:00). I then created the file 51-debian-sudo.conf. I've 
not noticed the update to the version 0.96-4 (happened on 2010-11-27 
22:56 according to apt log), and dpkg didn't told me about any conflict 
(probably because the 3 files were identical), so no .dpkg-old nor 
notification.
Since for the test (today) I wrongly guessed that apt/dpkg would have 
re-installed the file upon reinstall, I removed the file I supposed was 
mine, which made me think the file didn't exists.

So, sorry again, it is actually fixed. Thanks a lot.
