when you upgrade the packaging system makes sure zope is stopped,
then all the files (apart from configuration ones) are removed
(note that Data.fs is not in the package, so it is left untouched)
and replaced by new ones. then daemons (zope) are restarted. voila'.
a working system after upgrade.

p.s. if it does not work it is not my fault, ok? :)
