You're right, we're missing proper instructions to do a manual upgrade
of a virt-manager installation with a Persistence. I should fix this.
Now tracked with https://redmine.tails.boum.org/code/issues/17187.

I'm not a user a virt-manager myself and I know that some of us do use
it with a Persistence. It would save me quite a lot of time if they gave
me a synopsis of how they do their manual upgrades :)

segfault, intrigeri: How do you do that? Do you start the VM on an ISO
image plugged as a DVD and use it to do the upgrade? Something else?
