There another case to consider: the case when the configuration files
can't be automatically migrated. Should the preinstall script abort
the installation? (Can it really abort the installation?) Any other
ideas?
I did already give my own opinion on this one; yes it should stop the
install. and yes it has the power to do that. simply exit with
non-zero status.
Let me remind you that this is contrary to what you advised me on
transitioning Mantis:

This must be tested and this all takes some time.
If you say I should just move the stuff over I'll it right
now, but this is not a smooth transitions for users.
yeah. just move it over.
it would be nice if you just had a quicky postinstall check for,
"was there an older install? if so, post a warning message for 30 sec"
but that's about it.
It's too messy otherwise.
And I think it was the right thing you advised me: Make the transition
automatic if possible and stop if it can't be migrated safely.
