Pull request overview

This PR aims to prevent Minion upgrades (to 35.0.4) from overwriting the Minion ID and location by marking the controller configuration as a Debian conffile so dpkg preserves local changes across upgrades.

Changes:

• Add a Debian conffiles entry for the Minion controller configuration file.

Comments suppressed due to low confidence (1)

• This conffiles file currently contains an extra blank line after the path. Debian conffiles lists should contain only valid absolute paths (one per line); remove the empty line to avoid dpkg/debhelper parsing issues.

Copilot is half-right. This should target release-35.x and/or develop - foundation-2025 doesn't appear to have the path updates for minion yet.
