Currently upgrades only restore the databases.
Something should be put in place to restore the users homedir after upgrades.

Decision pending feedback from testers.

The backup and restore scripts hadn't been ported for Arch Linux yet.
Arch does a number of things differently from the old Debian base:
- Location of certain binaries is different
- Location of LinHes scripts is different
- Location of the DB data files is different
- Daemon start/stop are different
I'm testing an updated and ported version of the script now, but the backup and restore lists still need to be reviewed.

I never used the "regular user" account in KnoppMyth, so I have no personal stake in whether or not it's preserved in an upgrade, but I suspect it will surprise people who expect to keep using their R5.5 regular user account in R6.
