Why solve itself? Especially for those who won't upgrade?

The best treat to Mint users would be to explain them how to 'rename their Mint
(maya) to Ubuntu (precise)'.  In principle, all Mint repository references have
been created and only Ubuntu ones are going to be.  But where is that value? 
Is it patched at boot time like Mint likes to do? And in what other case could
it be used?  Especially for upgrades?
This is a bit confused:

I finally have found what I think is the solution and I posted it to that
thread.

Unfortunately, my system is just too important to risk a faux-pas and I'd
appreciate someone to test that on a less important system and post the result
in that thread and here.
For the sake of Wine and Ubuntu, of course, not really Mint ;-)
Best regards, André.
