Oh? I have also been doing a bit of work, looking into how to package
the upstream migration scripts. As there is the problem that RT2 and
RT3 conflict on a number of files, I wondered about creating an
rt2-to-rt3 package that contained the scripts and all the libraries it
needs (both rt2 and rt3) but in a completely separate directory, such
as /usr/share/rt2-to-rt3/. This means that someone could migrate with
either of rt2 or rt3 installed on the machine

I agree with this completely, many people will want to keep running
RT2 for sometime to come. I've heard of people still using RT1...
