Wouldn't you wanna limit this to <2.0.54 ? Otherwise this will pop up
for the consumers of 2.0.54 as well.

You have an extra '.' at the end.

I think upstream using the new path is enough justification, do you
really need to justify it any further?

Maybe it's better to also provide a one-liner of 'mv' for people who
just want to upgrade to the new path.

Overall, my impression is that people handle conf file changes in
pkg_postinst() with REPLACING_VERSIONS rather than news items. How fatal
are the consequences of not updating the conf file path? Would the
program abort or misbehave?
