I think it would. To truly test in a clean environment I would suggest to
use a fresh chicken installation for case 1 as well. Note that this can
be done by pure copying/hardlinking of files, assuming the user didn't
modify installed files. But I didn't know of case 1 and am not sure what
advantages it provides.
