What happened to uniq -W?
Now it is not allowed.
How is one to only compare on the first field anymore?
I did find in the docs some hint:
* Remove some ancient debian-specific patches
- no more field seperator option to uniq
you mean I was using something that was local/liable to go away and not thus
warned about on the man page?
Anyway, the user saw -W, and embedded it into his scripts, and upon
upgrade it is gone.

Yup, it's gone. There was a note in README.Debian that it should be
avoided.
