Comment 8 for bug 64323

One upstream developer has said,"this is a packaging issue. If gentoo or ubuntu bundled f-spot with sqlite2 in the past, they shouldn't had removed that dependency without providing an upgrade script or mechanism."

Another person followed up on upstream Bugzilla with the opinion that upstream should handle this scenario.

So upstream may or may not fix this, but my guess is that they'll stick with the "distros should handle this" opinion. Therefore, a conversion script should be included in the Ubuntu package, for the benefit of those who did an upgrade from an older version of f-spot (say, one that came with Breezy, or even Hoary) to a recent version.
