The easiest way to do this would be to:
1) add run-install-demo (= run-install)
2) run-install should simply print a message explaining that now 
run-install-demo should be used

But really, I am not very interested in spending more time to discuss this, 
especially because it is not an issue I (or my customers) have.

Kind regards,

Jacopo
