How so? Everyone following testing had -2 up until now, not -6. How is this going to go away in terms of upgrading existing installations?

To be honest the main upgrades we cae about are squeeze -> wheezy and squeeze doesn't have 2.x.

Testing/unstable users are asked for forgiveness for occasionally being used as guinea pigs though we certainly try to avoid breakage as much as possible.

I have a suggestion, tell me if this makes any sense:
In preinst, Search the existing config for a namespace inbox {} entry, and if none exists and no 15-mailboxes.conf file exists, create one containing an informative comment. This should draw the user's attention to the right places at the right time during ucf. Basically the user will be prompted about updating a 15-mailboxes.conf rather than just dumping a new one which silently and unintuitively makes the server unusable.

What you say makes sense but we are in a freeze so I can't make big changes like that. The real mistake was not including 15-mailboxes.conf in the first place.
