So, by virtue of that statement itself, non-techies and
newbs most certainly need such an expertly written script(s).


Scripts are usually meant to deal with corner cases, not as full blown
solution for the most general case. An application/utility written in
a high level programming language is more appropriate in that case.

In any case, I don't see what your gripe is. Do you think preupgrade
is the wrong way to solve the problem and would like an alternative,
or am I missing something here?
