It shouldn't have been copied from the old version.

It is only used by bin/update to determine if it needs to do anything
when you install Mailman over an existing installation (or otherwise
run bin/update).

For a 2.1.9 final release, it's contents should be

0x020109f0

If you copied it from 2.1.5, it's contents probably are

0x020105f0

This means if you should run bin/update, it may try to do some
superfluous checking, but probably won't do any damage.

Note that this is not used at all in the process of updating list's
config.pck files from 2.1.5 to 2.1.9.
