hmm... what if there was a simple shell script added to base-files, such
as "mksysmounts" (and corresponding "mkusermounts" too I suppose) that
would change any system mounts to user mounts, and vice versa.  (Or
perhaps a single script with several options.)  Then the response to "I
installed 'For me only'" would be "just run mksysmounts" instead of
"reinstall" or "modify these paths as appropriate and run these
commands".
