  PROBLEM:  Migration Manager removed existing communciation
  template
  PERFORMANCE ISSUE: N/A
  STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
  1)      Create a migration package for an escalation (does not
  matter
  if comm template is defined or not) with activation points that
  have
  existing notifications. (escalation should existing in the
  target
  environment)
  2)      In the target environment   remove at least one
  notification
  from one of the activation points
  a.      When you apply the package, the notifications that are
  missing
  gets populated and the ones that exist get wiped.
  b.      Re-apply the same package   the same behaviour
  happens
  the one that got imported in step a gets wiped and the ones
  that got
  wiped in step a gets repopulated
  c.      Issue points to something in the deployment side of
  things.
  CURRENT ERRONEOUS RESULT:  existing notifications from
  escalation gone
  missing.
  EXPECTED RESULT:  notification never got wiped when using

  Including the Comm Template in the where clause in Migration
  Manager
  didn't make any difference
