   I think so. It was designed for new installations only, but the code does a   
   database upgrade if used on an excisting setup so it should be safe to do on   
   any installation.   
      
   I don't know exactly how Debian does this, but Arch Linux what I currentlyu   
   use leaves this decision to the user, it displays a message with upgrade   
   instructions. It's safer and users can't blame you if it blows up.
