Just to update the list, we decided to go with this compromise where
both the package and source installs use /usr/lib/ckan/default/ and
/etc/ckan/default/, so that they leave space for multiple CKAN's to be
installed on one server, even if a lot of the time only the default one
actually gets installed.

On this, we said that there _will_ be a documented 1.8 -> 2.0 upgrade
process for package installs, but it will be a manual process not
completely automatic.
