It's not that Debian assumes you want to hand-edit your config files. It realizes that you may have edited them, by hand, using a gui, web frontend, whatever. Thus, it's bad form for it to go stomping all over your config files every time a package is installed or upgraded, especially with the amount of installing/uninstalling/upgrading that can happen on a debian system attached to a big pipe. Additonally, IMO, it would be bad form anyway for the mod_php package (libapache-mod-php, I think) to touch a config file (httpd.conf) that isn't part of its own package.
