The 0.5-1 package should include a postinst that either warns users
about this issue, or moves their old 0.4.x saves into a backup area.

I have done substantial work to "modernize" this package, which I hope
you will want to integrate into the next release.  Please find
attached draft .debian.tar.gz files (which replace older .diff.gz) for
two versions.

The latter adds support for the tiles version, so you can have both
curses and tiles installed on the same system, sharing the same save
files!

Please do contact me if you have any questions about this work, as I'm
keen to get it into the official Debian package.  If you're opposed to
some changes I've made, I hope you'll still accept the other bits.
