Bug description:
[Impact] Serious data loss when using the live CD upgrade option.
[Test Case] Install 11.10. Create some files under /var/lib/mysql/ and
/var/lib/mythtv/ (doesn't matter exactly what). Use the live CD upgrade option
to upgrade to 12.04 using an in-place install. Check that the files you
created still exist.
[Regression Potential] Limited to the upgrade option; this code is not used
elsewhere. If that option still works otherwise then it should be fine.
Original report follows:
When using the live cd to upgrade, it wipes /var/lib/mythtv/*
(presumably /var/*) meaning you lose the database and the default
storage group locations
