Whilst this commit message is accurate for your situation, it's actually
not just rpm - the same behaviour will happen with opkg and dpkg.

Please resend the patches with a commit message along the lines of "Use
CONFFILES to mark configuration files as such".  This isn't rpm-specific
behaviour and it's misleading to state that in the commit log.
