So this is not really related to this bug report, but any upgrade from
the lucid version will rm -rf /etc/gallery and /usr/share/gallery2, and
people end up without these dirs (and without their config data,
obviously); it's a serious issue.

The preinst for the -proposed package should take steps to avoid this
removal on upgrades.

I can think of a terribly evil way to do it, which would be to patch the
postrm of the old package, that's the simplest implementation, but it's
really evil.  The full implementation would involve taking some kind of
backup, and moving it back in place, or moving the data before the
upgrade and then moving it back.
