+Upgrading from Nagios 1
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+Upgrading an existing Nagios 1 installation to nagios 2 is
+unfortunately non-trivial since the configuration file format has
+changed quite severely. 
+
+Therefore, nagios2 is independently packaged, so that you can decide
+when to actually do the upgrade. To avoid conflicts of nagios 1 with
+nagios2, nagios2 has its configuration and run-time data in
+directories named /foo/nagios2 instead of /foo/nagios. When reading
+upstream docs, you usually need to replace nagios with nagios2.
+
+When you install nagios2 on a system that has nagios 1 installed, the
+nagios2 packages will replace your installed nagios 1 packages. The
+nagios 1 packages will be in "uninstalled" state afterwards, which
+will leave nagios 1's configuration and run-time data on the system.
+To remove these, you'll need to manually purge the nagios 1 packages.
