Manual recovery like this *can* be done, but I do not recommend embarking upon it without very strong reason. (In my case, I needed to fix the filenames and permissions of my entire /home partition anyway, and that includes irreplaceable data measuring in terabytes and dating in some cases as far back as the '90s. Proper external backup is now very much on my radar.)
Why not just reinstall the OS and copy the /home/username files into the new /home partition? Reinstalling Debian is extremely easy. -- Carl Fink nitpicking@nitpicking.com Read my blog at blog.nitpicking.com. Reviews! Observations!
