[ale] Ubuntu to Debian Switch?

[Jim Kinney]

I would be rather paranoid due to the encryption layer. I would
duplicate the unencrypted contents to a separate drive and toss the
entire original drive in to the options for a new OS. It _should_ work
to overlay a new OS and tell it to only mount the /home LV but ...

My concern is that it's not a physical partition on the drive but part of a PV.
