Bug Description

When I upgraded to the latest package in testing, it prompted me about changes to maas_local_settings.py. I said to replace the file because we regenerate the password on all upgrade.

Unfortunately, the DEFAULT_MAAS_URL value which was set automatically on first install wasn't updated and was left at the maas.internal.example.com one.

Two things:

a) Given all the changes that the package do to that file, we should probably not mark it as a config change? As the upgrade becomes very confusing to the user. Should they install the new file? or not?

b) If we persist in keeping it as a config file, we should make sure that the DEFAULT_MAAS_URL settings is preserved.
