Just leave the previous (ccrma) files in and do an "apt-get update"
again. There is no need to change them. When you need to change them
I'll post a BIG warning :-)
I upgraded apt on 8 and 9 to get rid of a potential problem with
corrupted apt databases for certain mixes of packages, but the upgrade
does not impact the configuration files.
