Research direction
Inspect the generated deb package metadata, especially envoy.list and the missing envoy.conffiles entry for /etc/envoy/envoy.yaml. Start by locating the package definition or build entry point that produces these files, then verify that rebuilding the package marks envoy.yaml as a configuration file and preserves it during upgrades.

Description
The /etc/envoy/envoy.yaml is not marked as a config file in the deb packages, which means that updating the package unconditionally overwrites the file.
