Excellent.

Please note that this will fail if the system was copied from one
filesystem to another, as I usually do when I get a new computer to
avoid a new installation procedure. One might argue if that still
counts as ‘the originally installed system’, but the same goes if,
for example, you switch from i386 to amd64 without reinstalling, and
this quite big change wouldn’t be noticed by the filesystem change.

Best regards,

Claudius
