My upgrade process went well. But it could be improved. See below.

As you may see from the link in my previous email all Ubuntu users will
make a huge jump in the next upgrade of their operating system. They
will not install 9.5 instead they go from 9.4 directly to 10.3 or later.
I therefore advise to include a check for a correct channels file into
all versions above 9.5.
Like:
if in gPodder_config_dir:
still exists old channels.xml
backup channels.xml to channels.xml_old
convert channels.xml to channels.opml
this procedure could also be included as some sort of tool.
Please send a mail if you don't understand my ideas.
Kind regards,
Timmie
