Package: sylpheed-claws-gtk2
Version: 2.6.0-1
Severity: important

Sylpheed Claws stores its filter settings in a different format than
that of (plain) Sylpheed. The Claws 2 source tree contains a 'tools'
directory with many useful scripts, two of them can convert the filter
settings from the old format (filterrc - filter_conv.pl) and from the
new format (filter.xml - filter_conv_new.pl). The Sylpheed version in
Sarge already used the new format.xml). The conversion script for the
old format can be found in the sylpheed-claws-scripts package, but
unfortunately there's no conversion script for the new format in any
package in Etch.

That's a problem for users upgrading from Sylpheed in Sarge (like me).
(BTW, I think that it would be useful to display some debconf warning
page about the filter format incompatibility and the way to convert
the filters.)

Supposed solution: Creating a sylpheed-claws-gtk2-scripts package, that
contains the scripts from the 'tools' directory. If it's too late now,
then maybe including these scripts in the sylpheed-claws-gtk2 package.

Best regards,
