to 1.: maybe the schemas should only be deinstalled on package removal and not
on upgrades.

to 2. : I don't know if schemas will have to be reinstalled, I think we should
test this.

description: 
The default gconf database (/etc/gconf) is altered by severl package post
install scripts. It is easily possible to overwrite the settings of already
installed packages (e.g. totem and nautilus-media video thumbnailer do this). 

It also seems to be impossible to undo some changes once made by the post
install scripts leaving dead/unworking stuff in there breaking things (see Bug
4097 for an example).

So we end up having race conditions between packages again: the last one
overwrites the configuration of the previous ones and never undoes them when
uninstalled.
