Do they even make sure there are conversion scripts that convert all
relevant configuration files from one version of a given daemon to the
next version?  For example, the BIND 4 -> BIND 8 config file
conversion was non-trivial; in addition, I think Apache made some
pretty significant changes from Apache 1 -> Apache 2.  If Debian even
automagically converts configuration files, that's *really* slick.

the problem I saw earlier today was in my test, not in Deadwood.  I'll
release a new Deadwood snapshot tomorrow, as I have been doing almost
every day these last couple of weeks)
