How do you mean "missing"? Are they not (as documented in
README.migration) located at
/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/MoinMoin/scripts/migration ?

The MoinMoin library has never yet been part of an official release of
Debian. And the package(s) provides only the "source" and libraries for
setting up MoinMoin wikis, it does not setup any wikis and does not
upgrade them either.

It is true that wikis created with the use of earlier unstable and
testing Debian packages of MoinMoin does not work as-is with the most
recent packages now in Debian unstable and testing. Manual upgrade of
each wiki is necessary.

I have chosen to not support automatic upgrades of old wikis, as that
would be too complex, because there is no central record of the wikis
created on a system.

I have chosen to not introduce the use of debconf notes to not make the
packages unnecessary complex: The warning would be of use only for users
of testing and unstable - those must be prepared for surprises, and this
one does not include loss of data, only downtime of the service (and if
you want you can install an older package and old wikis will work fine
again).


For users of unstable and testing (and stable as well) I can warmly
recommend keeping track of at least NEWS items, by installing
apt-listchanges.
