This could be done by just including the old configuration files with the packages and mention it briefly in the documentation perhaps, although I'm sure if you just include the configuration somewhere, people will find it. Another option would be to make an xfce4-classic package that installed the ald XFCE configuration.

i guess this is really doable ... could u file a (wishlist) bug on
