seen on hardy:
- link /etc/migrationtools/migrate_common.ph points to non-existing /usr/share/migrationtools/migrate_common.ph
- /usr/share/migrationtools/migrate_common.ph has been misleadingly moved to /usr/share/perl5/migrate_common.ph in package migrationtools 47-3ubuntu2 -> see package changelog
- migrationtools perl scripts take configuration from migrate_common.ph in ../perl5 directory, but they should take it from original /usr/share/migrationtools/ directory

excerpt from Debian README in /usr/share/doc/migrationtools

"Edit /etc/migrationtools/migrate_common.ph, move to /usr/share/migrationtools
and run one of the scripts there (the scripts require you to be in the same
folder)."

The migrate_commen.ph is indeed in /usr/share/perl5 dir, yet no docs I found say it is in there. Migrationtools 47-3ubuntu2, also running Hardy.

This bug was fixed in the package migrationtools - 47-6ubuntu1

---------------
migrationtools (47-6ubuntu1) intrepid; urgency=low

  * Merge from debian unstable, remaining changes:
    - Install migrate_common.ph into the right sport. (LP: #196749)
    - Update maintainer according to spec.

migrationtools (47-6) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Dummy rerelease, using proper tarball (lost in switch to Git).
  * Keep urgency=medium from release 47.4.

migrationtools (47-5) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Add note about access to shadow passwords to README.Debian. This
    closes: bug#375007, thanks to James Westby.
  * Keep urgency=medium...

migrationtools (47-4) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Packaging moved to collab-maint Git at Alioth. Add VCS-* hints to
    debian/control.
  * Only apply access rights to files (not the symlink). Closes:
    bug#464294, thanks to Lucas Nussbaum.
  * Move Homepage to own field (from pseudo-field in long description)
    in debian/control.
  * Update local cdbs snippets:
    + Update copyright-check.mk to parse licensecheck output using perl:
      + No longer randomly drops newlines
      + More compact hint file (and ordered more like wiki-proposed new
        copyright syntax).
      + No longer ignore files without copyright.
      + Relax to only warn about its discoveries. This is a potential
        FTBFS (see bug#487065).
    + Drop wget options broken with recent versions of wget in
      update-tarball.mk.
    + Cosmetic updates to README.cdbs-tweaks.
    + Cleanup duplicate build-dependencies in debian/rules.
  * Update debian/copyright-hints.
  * Bump debhelper compatibility level to 6.
  * Semi-auto-update debian/control to update build-dependencies:
    DEB_AUTO_UPDATE_DEBIAN_CONTROL=yes fakeroot debian/rules clean
  * Set urgency=medium due to multiple FTBFS bugfixes.

Just did an apt-get install migrationtools for 8.04 server LTS and the link in /etc/migrationtools/migrate_common.ph points to /usr/share/migrationtools/migrate_common.ph which doesn't exist. I had to read through this to find the file in /usr/share/perl5/migrate_common.ph

Had to copy that file over to the /usr/share/migrationtools folder and edit

Could you package this so that copying of files between folders is not needed?
