Package: release-notes Severity: normal Tags: patch The removal of the '686' flavour happened in wheezy and should not be mentioned in the jessie release notes.
(There is another flavour change in jessie: '486' was replaced by '586'. But it's probably not worth noting as the CPU features required have not changed, only the name has changed to reflect reality.)
