my plan is to delete the database for 2.0.12, unpack 3.0 in /usr/share, run /usr/share/doc/wordpress/examples/setup-mysql -n example example.com to setup the new database.
/usr/share/doc/wordpress/examples/setup-mysql Creates by default a Wordpress mysql configuration depending on required fully qualified domain name(FQDN). (setup-mysql was shipped with wordpress.deb 2.0.12.) then follow the 5min instructions from 3.0 readme.html. please advise.
