To create the test case, you'd want to do the following:

1. Download the latest stable package from gourmet.
2. Create a few recipes with ingredients.
3. Upgrade to the ubuntu package.
4. Notice that your ingredients have disappeared.

I'm not sure if my patch will actually fix this -- what it will do is
make a backup of the DB before it gets hosed. (It might also fix it -- I
forget which code I kept and which I deleted -- I was aiming to get it
smaller as fast as possible).

Regarding timing, I guess it depends how you measure it. I figure every
Gourmet user whose data gets hosed by this upgrade is likely a user
lost. But of course I realize this is a pretty obscure little corner of
the ubuntu world and that recipe data may not seem like the most
important data there is.
