Sorry, but your assumption is wrong.
openSuse 10.3 now recognizes an existing installation and retrieves info from the old /etc/passwd before formatting the hard drive, even when a complete fresh installation is performed. I know, because I never upgrade. I prefer to do a fresh install of my root partition, keeping only the home partition intact.

I also keep /opt and /local around, so that I don't have to
re-install other stuff that I've downloaded and installed.
