The reason why I expect that  printing on the terminal is insufficient, is 
because most notebook users will not look there at all: they're just 
looking at the browser that pops up. There are quite some precedents for 
informational pop-ups: firefox and chrome are usually quite insistent on 
start-up to ask you about migrating information to themselves and/or 
selecting them as default browser.

We could make the UX more consistent by "preinstalling" a migration ipy 
notebook. In fact, that notebook could include code to open and read the 
sagenb worksheets (jupyter kernels don't run chrooted by default, right? so 
their code can still access HOME/.sagenb) and help with translating the 
worksheets.

The main scenario is that of single-user notebooks. multi-user setups don't 
translate easily to jupyter anyway, so a more manual translation approach 
will be required anyway.
