Which are common (Raspberry Pi, Alix, etc.), but far from being the
majority.

Never noticed that despite having uptimed installed on more or less
all my Debian systems for more like 15 years or so. You're breaking my
tradition!!1!eleventy! ;-)

That one I noticed. But as the severity states, it's minor (but
admittedly annoying).

Actually for some reason, I thought the import of the uptimed database
is done by default if present. I probably misread that addition to the
package description.

Maybe there should be a transitional package from uptimed to tuptime
which actually calls that migration script. (For that it needs to be
packaged uncompressed and not under /usr/share/doc/. Will file bug
reports for these two things later today.)
P.S. to Ricardo: I saw your reply on #914954, will reply soonish.
Regards, Axel
