Comment (by pulkomandy):

 Why do we still support installing over an existing system at all? Now
 that we have pkgman update, there is no need for this anymore.

 In the current Installer, the home dir is "merged", that is, old files are
 preserved, but overwritten by files from the partition you install from.
 This is possibly useful to repair an install where you have some corrupt
 setting files. Since this is now a repair operation, not the usual
 "update" one, maybe we can make the warning a bit louder and the feature
 less easy to trigger by accident?
