About procedure:
I think it's not very accurate, or diverts from my expectations too much, so I will post my version:

- I assume TheIDE is installed from .deb, I don't care about non-deb installation (we can rethink that later, what can be reused for custom installation)

- if .deb was not updated, nothing to do [exit]

- no user copy -> ask if he wants:
1) SVN checkout (to revision from .deb)
2) copy
3) use /usr/share read only sources (imho this should be recommended, because it's keeping the platform consistent for users who follow recommended choices)

- if user copy is SVN checkout, update to .deb revision (not head) (it should probably ask for confirmation, but it's very likely desired behaviour, so no need to complicate it). Report conflicts after update if any, so user knows he has to solve them manually. [exit]

- if user copy is copy of /usr/share -> ask about update (full copy, keep local changes, no copy) [exit] (this part is well written in yours diagram)

--
It would be very likely good to make this independent for uppsrc and examples+reference. I think it's quite ok for new users to dig into examples and play with them, i.e. copy or SVN should be recommended there. On the uppsrc I think the exact opposite, keeping it in /usr/share and not letting them modify it.

Also it would be nice to have these wizards available trough menu in case you want to restore your installation (i.e. your local toying around went into unrepairable state).
