Yes, but if you edit it by hand, then it won't be updated when a

You will be offered the choice of keeping your version or replacing
it with the new version.

Yes, but neither choice is entirely satisfactory; if I keep my
version, I don't get any improvements the devs / maints have made,
and if I choose the new one, I (may) have to redo my changes. It is
therefore preferable to make changes through dpkg-reconfigure to
avoid this problem.

There is work in progress for a third option to merge the new stuff
with the customized config.

Great! Looking forward.
