[Michael Schumacher <schumaml@xxxxxx>]

The location has been changed in the current development branch (2.9)
and this change will be in the 2.10 stable release.

If Ubuntu doesn't want to be inconsistent with every single piece of
GIMP docs, tutorial, hint, message, post, ... concerning the location of
the profile directory for 2.8, I'd suggest to leave this as-is for now.

It will be hard enough to communicate the change alongside a release
that is explicitly changing the profile directory location.
