I did tried to convert a RPM into a deb using "fakeroot alien" (v8.52) on Debian
Sarge system.

The RPM containes the following config files:
~> rpm -qpc xinetd-2.3.13-42.i586.rpm
  /etc/xinetd.conf
The .deb contains (using "mc" and then DEBIAN/conffiles):
  /etc/init.d/xinetd
  /etc/xinetd.conf
  /etc/xinetd.d/chargen
  [...]

If I read the alian/changelog.gz correctly, alien does (for RPM to DEB) the
following: It use rpm -qcp to list conffiles from rpm and uses it for all but
/etc; /etc files are added automatically using debhelper v3.
