Subject: dpkg: Sync the Conffiles fields for all package instances

When configuring the second and subsequent package instances with
conffiles, the *.dpkg-new conffiles will have been already handled by
the first instance. As such, whenever the *.dpkg-new file is missing,
copy the hash from an already processed instance.
