I'd definitely go with removing the version check. It probably does need to be checked into trunk, but that's over my head.
I ran into this problem yesterday with the install script when upgrading from 1.5.90 to 1.5.91. I popped into IRC, reported bug 2461, and fixed the immediate installer issue (by hardcoding the path) on my own copy. Ben fixed the install script, closed the bug, and created new packages, which I pulled down with apt. I re-ran the installer, which worked. I then went to lunch and forgot all about it for a few hours. I hadn't tried to start opennms, because we're not in production yet. When I ran into the bootstrap issue, I reported it to the IRC channel and moved on to other things, not realizing it was a pretty simple symlink issue. That brings us to now, and this thread. I removed the bogus directory, installed the -3 version of the packages, re-ran the installer again, and now it all works.
