Bug description:
 affects mahara

This doesn't matter when using Leap2A to create completely new user
accounts, but it certainly matters when importing it over MNet.

The problem is that the blog plugin has the following logic:

- At the start of the import, check to see if there's already a blog for
  this user

- When importing anything, create a blog if necessary

- At the end, if a blog has been created, and there WAS a blog at the start
  of the import, delete the original blog.

This is so that if a user gets created, and they get the default "Blah
Users's blog" blog created by default, and then new blogs created, delete
the "Blah User's Blog" since it doesn't make sense.

I'm not sure of the best way to fix this - do we have *any* way to check
that a given blog is the default blog, or one that a user created
themselves?

Either way, we should certainly not delete any blogs that have posts.
Still until we figure out the above question, I don't think we can avoid
data loss :(
