Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: migration-assistant

Migration-assistant should allow the following:
0) Operation Before, During, and After install.
1) Create new accounts
2) As mentioned in some ubuntu task documents, allow for backup/archiving 
accounts to other media in the case of a destructive (replacing) install.
3) Restore/copy zero or more accounts in to a target user account (specifying 
order).
4) Reverse migration in case Linux fails to sell it's self.  That is copying 
documents/settings back.

Installs which involve destroying the source partitions could invoke
migration in backup only mode (and limit backup locations to those which
already exist and will continue to do so).

Settings could be backed-up/restored.

Re-migration from other operating systems/installs could occur just
before destroying the retiring part of a multi-boot system (without
being forced to use the whole install process to invoke migration).
