Wouldn't it be "better" to update the zc_install's mysql_upgrade_zencart_155.sql to include those statements?

############ IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS ###############
#
# * Zen Cart uses the zc_install/index.php program to do database upgrades
# * This SQL script is intended to be used by running zc_install
# * It is *not* recommended to simply run these statements manually via any other means
# * ie: not via phpMyAdmin or via the Install SQL Patch tool in Zen Cart admin
# * The zc_install program catches possible problems and also handles table-prefixes automatically
# *
# * To use the zc_install program to do your database upgrade:
# * a. Upload the NEWEST zc_install folder to your server
# * b. Surf to zc_install/index.php via your browser
# * c. On the System Inspection page, scroll to the bottom and click on Database Upgrade
# * NOTE: do NOT click on the "Install" button, because that will erase your database.
# * d. On the Database Upgrade screen, you will be presented with a list of checkboxes for
# * various Zen Cart versions, with the recommended upgrades already pre-selected.
# * e. Verify the checkboxes, then scroll down and enter your Zen Cart Admin username
# * and password, and then click on the Upgrade button.
# * f. If any errors occur, you will be notified. Some warnings can be ignored.
# * g. When done, you will be taken to the Finished page.
