 The install scripts will enable the include and rewrite apache modules, however
 the remove scripts will not disable these modules. This seems this safest
 way of satisfying the code's dependencies on these modules.
+
+Upgrading from older Debian packages
+====================================
+Although old config files will be preserved at the user's discretion
+as per normal Debian policy, they are unlikely to work. The general reason
+is that older packagings in Debian suffered from unnecessary divergence 
+from upstream configuration and several versions have come and gone since 
+then. As such backwards compatibility seems an unlikely goal.
+The three specific issues that might be faced are:
+
+ * In the file /etc/w3c/validator.conf file the Paths/SGML section is rather
+   different.
+ * The path to the main executable is now
+   /usr/lib/cgi-bin/w3c-markup-validator/check.
+ * The home page is now http://localhost/w3c-validator/.
