** Description changed:

- When performing an upgrade from Xubuntu 12.10 to the 20130311 build of
- Xubuntu 13.04, The "Create User" page is shown.  Is it necessary to
- create a new user when performing an OS upgrade?  Should this dialog be
- shown?
+ When performing an upgrade from the "image" (boot up the ISO) to Xubuntu
+ 13.04, the installer prompts to create a new user.
+ 
+ Is this expected behaviour when performing an OS upgrade? Shouldn't the
+ installer simply keep existing users?
  
  Entering the same username and password as what is currently on the
  system works.

** Summary changed:

- Upgrade requires new user
+ Upgrade from image prompts creating a new user

** Changed in: ubiquity (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Confirmed
