Restoring a backup with a new username retains the old database prefix

Symptoms

After restoring a backup using /scripts/restorepkg --newuser, the databases for the new account are restored with the old user's database prefix.   

Description

When restoring a backup using /scripts/restorepkg --newuser, the databases for the new account are restored with the old user's database prefix. This is counterintuitive as the new user will have it's own unique database prefix applied to new databases.
