Actually I have more than one (because I have multiple distributions installed and don't let them share the /home). I alse have backups, so if I do anything before having to reinstall from scratch, I would try restoring a backup. But the whole point of this exercise is for me to test whether I can handle the bumps of Sid, so restoring or rinstalling will be last on my list.
