The script does not break the whole system, it fails quite early
during preparations before doing any migration.

Sorry, it looks like I previously only fixed the cases of mixed tracked
and untracked kernel module files there. I've now fixed this locally,
which will be included in 1.21.7.

You'll need to remove the shadow hierarchy before being able to run
this again with a fixed script though.
