#827: upgrading erases all user data

 While this works while the data is insignificant and we are testing, this
 will start to be a major source of frustration to the children when we
 start testing in schools.

 A script that backsup the user's data and then restores it before and
 after the upgrade (even if the script is run manually) would be a good
 workaround for now, but I need confirmation that all user data is being
 stored under /home/olpc
