Migration is important. An average user won't be too happy when they
update their distro and find all of their settings have disappeared. Any
arguments involving developers are basically irrelevant IMHO when it
comes to migrations.
Not providing a migration path will probably delay adoption of
dconf/gsettings into Debian because Debian tries it's hardest to
preserve user configuration, even during an update. There are long and
scary scripts which can migrate gnome-panel 1.x to 2.x in Debian...
