I agree.  One of Debian's selling points is that you don't have to ever
reinstall (like you do with the competition) when upgrading.  Making
changes (especially small ones like this) that require a reinstall is a
bad road to head down, IMO.

User A upgrades their existing installation of Ubuntu from Warty.  User
A installs Ubuntu on his friends computer with Hoary.  The two systems,
while the same versions, are inconsistent.  This isn't good.

Was this accidentally overlooked or is upgrading inconsistency allowed?
