I'm not sure what you mean here. Do you plan to keep the definition
in two places (for backward compatibility?)? Which would be the
"preferred" location, i.e. which would take priority over the other?

This looks fine, though the ordering would depend on which you
want to take priority which would need to come last.

Is this just on upgrade e.g. in the maintainer scripts? To be run just
once to migrate the setting? Or for all changes?
