Thanks for asking. Yes, I do.
I would suggest some text that (1) is less overwhelming and (2) makes
it crystal clear to sysadmins what immediate action on their part is
required. For example:
fai (4.0) unstable; urgency=low
This is a major update of FAI which brings important changes,
and the FAI guide has not been updated to reflect them yet.
Changes include:
- new script names
- new configuration file names
- some tasks were renamed or reorganized
- new features that may affect you because <explanation

- new log files
Your scripts and configuration may need changes to work
with the new version. See /usr/share/doc/fai/changelog.Debian.gz
for details.

Does that help?
