it's not likely that the gconf database will be migrated in new version since gconf is deprecated

For Bazaar, see bug #195397.

Aren't these all separate bugs (and thus should be separate bug reports) ? This prevents me from marking this bug as a dupe of #195397.

I understand that this is what the XDG spec says, but has there actually been consensus in Debian or Ubuntu that all packages should migrate to this?
