Tbh, not 100% sure.  This script is heavily copypasta.  It looks like
there is an element of transferring debian files away over the course of
the 2, so perhaps it's to fully transition.

But, tbh, not really investigated it, as the second reconfigure is dirt
cheap, and the script just works (tm).

Feel free to experiment!  If you find it's unnecessary, I'd be happy to
hear about it!

Cheers,

Alex
