Ok, after looking more closely at the issue, here are the details:

In Lucid /usr/share/gconf/defaults/20-edubuntu was a dangling symlink when doing a fresh install. Jonathan made an SRU to fix that just after release by fixing the symlink to point to somewhere that actually exists.

So after the SRU we basically had /usr/share/gconf/defaults/20-edubuntu being a symlink of /usr/share/edubuntu-artwork/gconf/default which itself is a symlink to /usr/share/gconf/defaults/20-edubuntu-artwork-settings

That means that both /usr/share/gconf/defaults/20-edubuntu and /usr/share/gconf/defaults/20-edubuntu-artwork-settings are the same file. That's not causing any gconf issue that we know of, it's just bad and will be fixed in Natty.

In Maverick, we no longer create /usr/share/gconf/defaults/20-edubuntu, only /usr/share/gconf/defaults/20-edubuntu-artwork-settings exists in the package.

So basically, the bug is only going to appear for someone who installed Edubuntu 10.04 and never upgraded their system. As our upgrade instructions include a system upgrade prior to doing a dist-upgrade, that bug isn't supposed to happen.

I still agree that 20-edubuntu should be removed for people upgrading but it's not causing any issue as long as the upgrade process is respected so it can and will be fixed in the first natty upload of edubuntu-artwork.

Marking the bug as Invalid. If I'm completely wrong, please feel free to re-open ;)
