Dear maintainer,

While I appreciate the message I got yesterday during my upgrade of
apt-listchanges, I do ask you to drop that NEWS entry some time before
the release of trixie. Your request to file bugs might be appropriate
for the development cycle of trixie, it feels like it's noise for those
upgrading from bookworm to trixie.

I am of two minds about this.

I acknowledge the point you are making, and it's valid.

Having said that, (a) I am wary of the hubris of thinking that this is
going to be a completely seamless and invisible change that people don't
need to be notified about, and (b) anybody upgrading to trixie is going
to see a whole bunch of NEWS entries, and judging from my personal
experience, the majority of them are going to be irrelevant to each user
seeing them, so I'm not sure there is a significant amount of harm in
one more.

Hi,

Let me just say that somebody on IRC (a DD) made a remark about the NEWS
item, which triggered me to say that I thought about filing this bug and
they said they thought the same. So it was two people that thought this
NEWS a bit too much.

Take it or leave it.

Make that 3 people. The "news" is not really something end users of stable
need, and could apply to many packages.
