Are you sure? The bootstrap for the old distribution would be retained,
requiring an 'lb clean --purge' before rebuilding with the new
distribution (and that would delete the package cache in any case).

This is discouraging. I worked closely with Thanatermesis on this and
want to protect my investment of effort. I think it's suitable for the
current release, as I know of no use case it actually breaks, so if you
can furnish me with test instructions to reproduce this problem, I would
be happy to try them and rework the patch.
