Yes. no files should be lost.

That's very strange, I'll try to reproduce that on my own.

That's grml specific at least as far as that all those files are
shipped by grml packages. :)

Don't care too much about it (unless you experience problems of
course ;-)). The 'config file handling via dpkg-divert' isn't really
supported in Debian - though I'm wondering what's happening on your
system here. Getting some .original.dpkg-new and .dpkg-old files in
/etc is "normal", but above is something I never experienced so far.
Again, I'll try reproduce it with grml-small 0.4.
