I have hr and hr_payroll modules installed. Every time I reload the hr
module, the field passport_id is renamed to passport_id_moved<xxx>, and
now I end up having 100+ fields like this (passport_id_moved<xxx>). I
think this should be fixed soon.

In addition, I think this is  a general problems for overrides that
changes the field data types. How is the best approach to solve this for
smooth migration?

Title:
  hr_payroll overrides hr.employee.passport_id column, ignores data

Status in OpenERP Modules (addons):
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  At hr_payroll/hr_payroll.py we define a many2one 'passport_id' column
  for hr.employee, which will point to 'hr.passport' records. At
  hr/hr.py:164 we also have a "passport_id", with the string content of
  the passport number.

  So, when installing "hr_payroll", we hide all previously registered passport ids, server produces the warning:
  WARNING:orm:column 'passport_id' in table 'hr_employee' has changed type (DB=varchar, def=many2one), data moved to table passport_id_moved0 !

  We need to put some code that will transfer the contents of that moved column (beware: we cannot guarrantee that it will be "..moved0") into the hr.passport table.
  I also suggest that we /don't/ change column names, not before v6.1 .
