This seems to be two separate issues: (1) the missing files/directories that needed to be mkdir'ed & touched before the upgrade would proceed (2) the somewhat destructive upgrade that orphaned all of my existing photos. They may be related, or not. #1 is an annoyance. But #2 is the one that drives me to install gallery manually, outside of the packaging process.
