I maybe think that It's temp file system (called rootfs (=nearly ramfs )) until It's real file system (ext2, ext3 etc) is mounted.
Therefore there are no data which we use. So writing logic don't be need.
It's my conjecture.

dpkg::conf
Dpkg::Conf(3) libdpkg-perl Dpkg::Conf(3)
NAME
Dpkg::Conf - parse dpkg configuration files
DESCRIPTION
The Dpkg::Conf object can be used to read options from a configuration file. It can exports an array that can then be parsed exactly like
@ARGV.
FUNCTIONS
my $conf = Dpkg::Conf->new(%opts)
Create a new Dpkg::Conf object. Some options can be set through %opts: if allow_short evaluates to true (it defaults to false), then
short options are allowed in the configuration file, they should be prepended with a single dash.
@$conf
@options = $conf->get_options()
Returns the list of options that can be parsed like @ARGV.
$conf->load($file)
Read options from a file. Return the number of options parsed.
$conf->parse($fh)
Parse options from a file handle. Return the number of options parsed.
$conf->filter(remove => $rmfunc)
$conf->filter(keep => $keepfunc)
Filter the list of options, either removing or keeping all those that return true when &$rmfunc($option) or &keepfunc($option) is
called.
$string = $conf->output($fh)
Write the options in the given filehandle (if defined) and return a string representation of the content (that would be) written.
"$conf"
Return a string representation of the content.
$conf->save($file)
Save the options in a file.
