This is now fixed in SVN and seems to work for me, but it's only lightly
tested.

Upgrades leave orphaned files in /etc/request-tracker3.8; is it
worthwhile to go through them and remove them if unmodified or warn the
admin otherwise? That's a bit complex for experimental, but the packages
have been widely announced...

BTW, how about ditching svn and moving to git? I'm OKish with git-svn,
but it could be better...
