Does anyone reuse /boot or /var partitions ?

I think it's sane to say we shouldn't support shared boot without an
agreed upon spec in place. But I don't think it's sane to require
reformatting a volume to achieve that lack of support. Just fsck the
filesystem and maybe warn the user that overwriting (same named files)
is going to happen and get on with it. There's nothing actually wrong
with the fs, so I think required formatting is excessive. This isn't
required on Windows or OS X btw, so long as the fs is a valid volume
format and mounts without error, it's a legitimate install target.
