Public bug reported:

I keep /home on a separate partition.

I upgrade by performing a fresh install.

Expected behavior:  My internet connection passwords, like most of my
other settings, will be stored somewhere in /home and so will be
preserved.

Actual behavior: The passwords are saved in /etc/NetworkManager/system-
connections, so a fresh install wipes them out.

Though I suppose the actual behavior is intended, for the unsuspecting
it can be a trap.

Ubuntu 14.04
Network-manager: 0.9.8.8-0ubuntu7
