The fresh installation of 4.0.12 was to move away from system packages to 
source  

I'm all ready to upgrade to 4.0.13, but on make upgrade-database, is it best 
to run it as upgrade from 4.0.12 or from 4.0.4 which was the previous system 
package?

I reckon from 4.0.4 but I don't want to cause any other damage along the way.
