No, and as far as I am aware, packages are not allowed to touch files in a user's home directory. I was only suggesting this as a quick way of making sure pulseaudio is set back to default volume levels. All being well, when users upgarde from lucid, this bug will not surface, and their pulseaudio preferences, however simple or complex they may be, will be kept.
