Experience trisquelizing from Ubuntu 12.10

I got confused about the different names of Trisquel vs. Ubuntu versions, and I ran trisquelize on a netbook with Ubuntu 12.10 Quantal, trisquelizing to 6.0 Toutatis. Toutatis corresponds to 12.04 Precise, and the instructions with trisquelize warn us not to trisquelize nonmatching versions of Ubuntu.
In spite of the error, there is no great disaster. The Cairo Dock PowerManager was broken at first, couldn't find the battery. The Update Manager crashed when I ran it first. I did "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" in a terminal, and that appears to have fixed both the PowerManager and Update Manager. Update Manager recognizes that I have trisquelized, and asked whether it should report the crash during the conversion.
But, the beginning of a reboot complains that it cannot find an appropriate video mode (I can't remember whether it did this before trisquelizing), and the boot splash, the display manager and several other system identifiers indicate Ubuntu 12.10. Ubuntu One also remained in the main menu until I removed it.
I deliberately chose a machine with no crucial data or context, and I don't have a problem that needs solution right now. I'm mainly reporting in case the info is useful or interesting. If anyone knows that I should be seeing more trisquel identification, and/or how I should correct that, I'll be interested, but it's not crucial to me.
Cheers,
