Oh, the horror of being in unstable/testing channel and ignoring the change notice which has been shown automatically during apt-get upgrade.



The snark here is unnecessary and completely disconnected from how people use these systems in the real world.

Deferring to “it’s in the notes!” means nothing if you have more than a handful of packages on your machine.

You should also clarify the assertion that packaging affecting testing target won’t eventually hit stable, because that would be a major change that I haven’t heard about.

An end user will get impacted by this eventually.


> “it’s in the notes!”

Your words, not mine.

It isn't buried somewhere, it's in NEWS.Debian file, and it's shown to user during the package update by default.


Are you sure it was shown? I didn’t see one on Sid.


It's in NEWS.debian file [0], so apt-listchanges (which is installed by default in standard installation) should've shown it.
