Hmmm, I would have expected that none-Debian software is installed in
either /usr/local or /opt, not in /usr, so I never thought about that.

Probably the best to clean up the old installation.

Although it should not interfere that much since Debian only installs
spawn-process-helper to the architecture dependent directory
/usr/lib/conkeror/ -- everything else goes to the architecture
independent /usr/share/conkeror/.

Those which exist at the same path perhaps, but I'm not sure. Never
knowingly tested that. :-)
