I only succeeded by following this filesystem downgrade*:*
https://wiki.openvz.org/Installation_on_Debian_9#How_to_remove_metadata_csum_from_a_mounted_partition
After this, partition can be resized and installation can be done on
same partition:
* Removing everything but /home (or renaming such as /etc.bak /var.bak
...)
* Not formatting partition
* Using different target username or renaming old profile directory
(such as /home/user.bak)
What I was looking for was a procedure without needing to boot different
media (e.g. running Ubiquity from Trisquel media) and without making a
new /etc
