If application can run without configuration file, why do you need "original configuration file" in the first place? Why cannot application contain the same defaults that are provided by "original configuration file"?
A default config file with comments is often used as a template for a admin-generated config file.

No, the actual issue is, how to merge the changes the admin made to the configuration files with the changes upstream made to the configuration files.
This cannot be solved on packaging level at all because it requires knowledge of application configuration semantic.
