Bug#1101061: gnome-keyring: After upgrade keyrings expected in .local/share/keyrings but were left in .gnome2/keyrings

Upon further investigation, I think it is very unlikely this misbehavior is
due to the gnome-keyring
debian package. The relevant code in upstream[1] is very old. It appears to
check for the existence
of both dirs and prioritizes the new one if both dirs exist. The creation
timestamp for the new dir is
a few days older than the upgrade. So likely gnome-keyring-daemon was
started prior to that new
directory being created and the dist-upgrade simply prompted a reboot,
which led to the daemon
recognizing the new directory on the next start.
