Comment (by mcs):

 See #20497 for a related ticket.
 Also, if there is a chance that the user data might be stored in a shared
 location such as the user's home directory, then we need to account for
 the last issue raised by Arthur in ticket:13252#comment:57 after all,
 i.e., we may need to embed the app path in the update directory (like we
 do on OSX) in order to ensure that the update history is partitioned.
