buildmaster and buildslave directories are not interchangeable. Are the directories swapped in the configuration file?

Debian jessie is currently shipping Buildbot 0.8.9. If you are upgrading from squeeze (Buildbot 0.7.12), the package has been split into a buildbot master package, and buildbot-slave, and so there are separate /etc/default/buildbot and /etc/default/buildslave configuration files now.
