Uh, no, read the next lines.  In both cases those are referring
to "virgin user database" or "virgin database", and this patch
is removing an important qualifier.  It needs to be s/virgin/pristine/
in all these places.

Since the third case is well separated from the other two, maybe
we need to repeat the parenthetical definition there too.
