Yes.  The README refers to `make upgrade-database`.  You're running
Ubuntu packages, so the instructions we write aren't exactly the same as
what you'll need to do (they apply to the tarball we ship).

The Ubuntu packages don't run the database upgrades for you; they just
install the new source.

Most are run after.  The docs (docs/UPGRADING*) mention what needs to be
run during the middle of the upgrade.
