Bug#677703: Shortcuts lost after upgrade

Package: metacity
Version: 1:2.34.3-2
Severity: normal

Yesterday I upgraded metacity (though I don't remember, I guess from
1:2.34.3-1) and apparently lost my preferences (theme, shortcuts and presumably
something else).

After inspecting a bit, I think that
- "standard" shortcuts (i.e. "play", "next track") were correctly migrated
- the theme settings couldn't be migrated simply because old themes are no more
compatible
- "free" shortcuts (i.e. "open a terminal with Ctrl+Alt+T) were instead just
dropped.

The last looks to me as a bug: if I understood correctly (from the Debian
changelog entry of 1:2.34.3-1), there is a conversion script somewhere which
should presumably be fixed, but I wasn't able to find it.
