I dropped the patch to use move instead of rename, because turns out it
works even worse and for everyone.. and also because it was also
unnecessary since this upstream commit that I failed to notice until now:

commit c0d233b60311e2bf65dc13eee6f12abe221be932

    Ticket 47991 - upgrade script fails if /etc and /var are on
different file systems
