I notice nobody has cited the Ubuntu Studio Community Documentation on this
subject of migrating from a vanilla install:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudio/UpgradingFromHardy

It'd probably be good for everyone to start citing these docs more often,
any inconsistencies will be ironed out quicker (both on the docs and on the
mailing lists), furthermore the docs are always in need of regular eyes to
maintain upkeep (they are after all community docs).
