Those are scripts, not config files... and marking them as such encourages people to edit them, which is not a good idea, since those files mostly contain code and not configuration, thus a later version is much more likely to break. Not only because of changed configuration options, but because of changed interaction between the init script and what it runs (like renamed command line options for a daemon it starts, running a daemon as root which drop privileges alone or directly launching it as a user etc.). At worst, I'd force new packages to _never_ mark them as %config and leave existing packages with bits of config in their init script as they are, clearly identifying them somewhere in the wiki if necessary, until we switch to a new init system.
