Yeah, it's intentional that the config files aren't copied, since we
don't have any automated way of figuring out what you changed in the
old versions (and just blindly dropping the old ones into the new
version is a bad plan).  There is a note about this in the README
file, but maybe that's not sufficiently visible.  Should I have the
"service postgresql upgrade" script tell you about it?  Usually
initscripts aren't supposed to be too verbose, but since this particular
action can only get invoked manually, maybe it's okay to do that.
