Description
On upgrading from D5 to D6 the smiley 'image' paths are broken as the smileys module will live under sites/all/modules or sites/<sitename>/modules.
A database upgrade step is required to detect the path smileys is currently in (no doubt using drupal_get_path('module', 'smileys') and change the leading modules/smileys in the smileys.image database field to that path.
I have marked this as critical as it completely breaks smileys functionality after D6 upgrade.
#1
Not sure if I want to do this. Because changing the directory where modules are placed, isn't enforced in Drupal 6. You can still keep them in modules directory. If the location to the smileys is changed, it's up to the administrator to update their paths. This is so, because some users may not change smiley packs folder while upgrading and we can't force a change in image path. (Not the sole reason though; Not sure either.)
The D5 to D6 update script, as required, has already been included in D6 release of module, and proven to work for everyone so far too!
What do you think?

Also, now you may want to fetch the latest 6.x-1.x-dev release, and move your smileys to sites/default/files/smileys (default or something else) folder. Just to be safe for future upgrades.
