So this is the one bit that I don't think we currently have a good
answer for. We've never had a specific script to run on upgrades (like
Ubuntu do), so this kind of potentially breaking change doesn't really
have an obvious place to be fixed.
Obviously we'll need to mention this in the release notes for
bookworm. Should we maybe talk about adding an upgrade helper tool?
