Gimp 3 apparently installs files in /etc/gimp/2.0/ instead of /etc/gimp/3.0/ and the transition from Gimp 2 to Gimp 3 apparently results in mishandled config files:

I: These configurations now belong to the following packages:
gimp-data: /etc/gimp/2.0/controllerrc
gimp-data: /etc/gimp/2.0/gimprc
gimp-data: /etc/gimp/2.0/gtkrc
gimp-data: /etc/gimp/2.0/menurc
gimp-data: /etc/gimp/2.0/sessionrc
gimp-data: /etc/gimp/2.0/templaterc
gimp-data: /etc/gimp/2.0/toolrc
gimp-data: /etc/gimp/2.0/unitrc
grub-ipxe: /etc/grub.d/20_ipxe
I: They were initially installed by the following packages:
gimp-data: /etc/gimp/2.0/controllerrc
gimp-data: /etc/gimp/2.0/gimprc
gimp-data: /etc/gimp/2.0/gtkrc
gimp-data: /etc/gimp/2.0/menurc
gimp-data: /etc/gimp/2.0/sessionrc
gimp-data: /etc/gimp/2.0/templaterc
gimp-data: /etc/gimp/2.0/toolrc
gimp-data: /etc/gimp/2.0/unitrc
I: Filing bug reports against all packages involved might be a good idea.

The above was found as follow:

        ORPHANS=$(dpkg-query --show --showformat='${Conffiles}\n' | grep obsolete | awk '{print $1}')
        case $ORPHANS in
        "")
                echo "I: No obsolete configuration found."
                ;;
        *)
                echo "I: These configurations now belong to the following packages:"
                dpkg-query --search $ORPHANS | sort
                echo "I: They were initially installed by the following packages:"
                dpkg-query --show --showformat='${Package}\n${Conffiles}\n' | awk '/^[^ ]/{pkg=$1}/ obsolete$/{print pkg":",$1}' | sort
                echo "I: Filing bug reports against all packages involved might be a good idea."
                ;;

gimp-data installs to /etc/gimp/3.0/ . The 2.0 files are leftover from gimp 2.

There is a postinst script that was supposed to have removed those
files, but maybe the syntax is wrong?

Doing a recursive 'rm' is incorrect. It will not clean the files off
the 'dpkg' registry. You need to populate debian/gimp-data.maintscript
with suitable mv_conffile or rm_conffile statements.

Oh, so these files you are concerned about might not even exist any more?

Would you like to work on fixing this bug?
