I'm not sure. Disclaimer: I'm not using a .deb-based distro! I always install the desktop integration package as well. I'm not sure, if the old package finds your new installation. But to not have to run dpkg -i twice, just copy the desktop-integration package you will need into the higher up (DEBS) directory. Then start dpkg -i *.deb and let it figure out, what to install when. (For the record, I've done this in Mandriva and everything works fine.)
