Yes, see ubuntu-devel-announce post for the full details, but in summary we're
not supporting the old-format files until Beta because we want to make sure
nothing in Ubuntu itself relies on them; and the easiest way is to break things.

For beta, we may re-enable the files, or convert them automatically... I'm
increasingly leaning towards the latter because it's a simple enough process and
if we can automate it, it's better for our users.
