No huge rush to get a rebuilt version in.

As far as the database bit goes, could you have post_upgrade (but only
upgrade, not install) install a symlink from the new to old data
location if the new location doesn't contain any data, and print a
message saying you should move your data directory for real? Of course
you can't have the package contain an empty data directory this way.
