... or to make a copy of the original settings just before doing the  
conversion.

To get started, simply allowing downgrades (= keeping the older  
version in the list of available versions) without making a headache  
about configs would likely solve many more problems than it creates.  
For Alpha & Beta, where people are expected to know how apt-get &  
friends work, of course.
