Comment 43 for bug 532224

In that case, I agree with you completely.

I only have one concern. For those upgrading to Lucid (or even fresh installs with separate /home partitions), the package manager will use the postinst script to change the default settings. If someone had edited the setting and did not "unset" it, then the changes will not be visible for that user (who would then encounter this problem). It happened to me. I had overrided the default on my account. When I installed the package, everyone else sharing the computer complained about the changed location of the controls.

I presume this will not affect too many people.
