Hi Jonas, I got that issue earlier, and to be honest I kind of side with
Fabrice here, and I find it bit sad Buster was released with that kind of
behavior.

NEWS.Debian says (you really need to have apt-listchanges installed to see
that before installing, but it won't save you anyway):

So the advice here is to actually install a *snapshot* package, downgrading
from the 2.x package you're about to install, in order to actually export the
package, before upgrading again and somehow (by, I assume, following the 1to2
page) importing it again.

I know you're a volunteer and you do a lot of work, so it's not really against
you Jonas. But I consider this kind of bug RC (and thus raising the severity).
We ought to have a migration path *in Debian*.
