Please pend this PR until QubesOS/qubes-issues#3553, or let me know if I should close this one and open anew. I need to rewrite the reinstall portion. Thought it was R4.0 vs. R3.2 but it's actually Debian vs. Fedora updateVM.

Renamed sections so this should accurately describe how one would reinstall a template today. Can touch again later if #3553 changes anything, but I think this is good as is right now.


First, copy any files that you wish to keep from the TemplateVM's `/home` and
`/rw` folders to a safe storage location. Then, in a dom0 terminal, run:
The procedure varies by Qubes version and UpdateVM's distribution; see the appropriate section below.

IMO it would be good to point here how to check what is set as UpdateVM.

Added, but I'm just going to have to remove it again once --action=reinstall works on Debian!
