I know we have release notes, but some don't know about them or
would
simply not read them. A debconf message seem really appropriate IMO.
Could we not introduce the concept of an "upgrade script" into
apt-get which could be downloaded when you run "apt-get update" and
then run during a dist-upgrade? This could handle automation of
any "housekeeping" during the upgrade which would otherwise require
manual work detailed in the release notes.
As a theoretical future enhancement, possibly. That won't help for
squeeze to wheezy upgrades though, as squeeze's apt would need to
include support for it.

Adam
