I'm afraid these changes are too naïve, Keith.  Consider the following snippet:

\version "2.13.9"

\paper {
  between-system-padding = 10\mm
  between-system-space = 0
}

\relative c'' {
  c1 \break
  c1
}

To get anything approaching the same appearance in 2.13.39, the
convert rule needs to scale the values in terms of staff-space,
otherwise they're much too large:

\version "2.13.39"

\paper {
  system-system-spacing #'padding = #(/ (* 10 mm) staff-space)
  score-system-spacing #'padding = #(/ (* 10 mm) staff-space)
  system-system-spacing #'space = 0
  score-system-spacing #'space = 0
}

\relative c'' {
  c1 \break
  c1
}

Cheers,
Neil
