Ask the admin if he wants a backup of his old data because you need to
reset the database. Default to yes, so if it is in unattended mode you
dont delete data.
Then simply wipe the database and start with a new one. And write that
in Readme.Debian or so too.
Ah, maybe migrate the Admin User with his settings, if there is
something like this.
