I used to feel the way that Andrew and others do about Alf Season 2, but I had a shift in thinking recently.
This line from a post in the Kung Fu season 2 thread by Gord is a contributer to my change of mind.

It's fine to complain to the studios, but don't punish them when they fix a mistake; it confuses them.

I will not buy season 2 immediately, I will wait to see if it is fixed. But, if the studio went through the effort to get the correct versions and release them on DVD and if they changed that horrible package, I would not punish them for correcting their mistakes. Season 1 will still be in correct, but how would I look if I complained to the studio, they responded positively to it and then I still ignored them?
I understand though the position that Andrew describes and that other people probably hold, but I myself am taking a different approach. If season 2 is done properly I see no reason why I shouldn't purchase it.
However, like I said above, they're not getting a free pass, I bought season 1 the day it was released, but season 2 will not be an immediate purchase, it will wait until I know for sure they did it right or not. That includes using uncut episodes and a different method of packaging, I really hate the season 1 box.
