Bug Description
Binary package hint: migrationtools
The package's README file indicates that one should edit "migrate_common.ph" and change at least two lines:
$DEFAULT_
$DEFAULT_BASE
However, "migrate_common.ph" is installed at /usr/share/
As these two lines are intended to be edited/configured on a per-installation basis, perhaps they should be moved out to a configuration file that resides somewhere under /etc.

Some further investigation shows that there is a symlink created in the /etc/migrationtools directory:
$ ls -l /etc/migrationt ools/migrate_ common. ph ools/migrate_ common. ph -> /usr/share/ migrationtools/ migrate_ common. ph
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 43 2010-07-26 06:53 /etc/migrationt
However, the symlink is to a non-existent file:
$ ls -l /usr/share/ migrationtools/ migrate_ common. ph migrationtools/ migrate_ common. ph: No such file or directory
ls: cannot access /usr/share/
because the file is actually installed at /usr/share/ perl5/migrate_ common. ph
