I always thought that c stood for configuration file.  From the man page

-----
The format of the output is a string of 8 characters, a possible
attribute marker:

c %config configuration file.
d %doc documentation file.
g %ghost file  (i.e. the file contents are not included in the package
payload).
l %license license file.
r %readme readme file.
-----

and an example is
S.5....T  c /etc/ldap.conf

I could have sworn there was a "no config file" option, but I don't see
it in the man page.  But I think the

--nordev
  Don't verify the corresponding file attribute.

Is probrubly closer to what you are looking for.
