I disagree. I do not think the installer should EVER delete a custom entry.
Whatever the user adds to the DB is sacrosanct. A warning at upgrade time is
a minor thing compared to what happens if the installer is allowed to remove
my customisations without warning.

Customisations are one thing but matching dictionary entries are another.
