[Bug 610103] [NEW] package suggests editing an installed non-conffile for normal operation

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: migrationtools

The package's README file indicates that one should edit
"migrate_common.ph" and change at least two lines:

$DEFAULT_MAIL_DOMAIN 
$DEFAULT_BASE

However, "migrate_common.ph" is installed at
/usr/share/perl5/migrate_common.ph and is not (AFAICT) a conffile.  As
such, any changes made to file will be lost on subsequent installations
and upgrades.

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.
