No. The reason why the old collection is not recognized (and first run
assistant launched) is the location of  digikamrc file including all DK
configuration which have been moved from ~/.kde4/share/config to ~/.config
which is the standardized place under Linux. If you copy this file at this
place all will start as expected.

In all cases, the migration option is not the right way to process.

It's right than no rule to copy old digikamrc file from old place to new one is
not implemented.

But, starting with a new fresh DK setup and configure the collections and the
place where the database is stored will normally not touch the DB content and
all will be available as with 4.x release.
