This looks like the result of upstream SVN commit #399991 on Mar 23,
2005, "Cleanups and standardisation across games...". Unfortunately, it
results in previous high scores being lost and it missed one line in
katomic/gamewidget.cpp.

I doubt the tables will be merged. It is a fairly trivial fix, though, to
just use one table or the other. [Highscores Level #] has been written to
by all 3.5.x versions of katomic, and [High Scores Level #] by previous
versions (including the version in sarge). Which should we use?
