Bug Description
Binary package hint: mailman
If mailman has actually changed the format of the pickles in qfiles, then sure, SKY-IS-FALLING-stop the upgrade. But this check is triggered even when the upgrade is just between ubuntu revisions (e.g. a security release), and being forced to clean out qfiles/ before being able to apply a security upgrade on a production server isn't acceptable.

I'm not sure if comparisons to fascism will motivate anyone to solve your bug.
