Just a quick side note on this point: I strongly encourage everyone
running Debian to install apt-listchanges.  I feel like we added that to
the default install these days but maybe we didn't.  You can configure it
to show you only NEWS.Debian files, not the full changelog.  Any new
NEWS.Debian file entry for a package that you have installed is generally
worth reading, and this is the supported way (other than the Release Notes
for the full stable release) that Debian communicates major breaking
changes like this to users.
