6 Wouldn't you wanna limit this to <2.0.54 ? Otherwise this will pop up

16 I think upstream using the new path is enough justification, do you
17 really need to justify it any further?

24 Maybe it's better to also provide a one-liner of 'mv' for people who
25 just want to upgrade to the new path.

27 Overall, my impression is that people handle conf file changes in
28 pkg_postinst() with REPLACING_VERSIONS rather than news items. How fatal
29 are the consequences of not updating the conf file path? Would the
30 program abort or misbehave?
