> This is very unfriendly to your users to change configuration regularly… It is, which is why it's entirely backward-compatible. There was an issue with it, which was fixed (#675408). The profile option replaced script-config, which is now deprecated. It will continue to function through all the 1.6.x releases of schroot. So it will work on (oldoldstable), oldstable and stable throughout the lifetime of wheezy. The option has been deprecated, so it will continue to work but warn on startup that it should be updated. This is not a "regular" change, it's a single change introduced between the 1.4 and 1.6 versions of schroot; so it's a gap of about two and a half years. Care has and will continue to be taken to ensure zero breakage during and over major releases. The option will only be removed for the next major (1.8) release in wheezy+1. The warnings are harmless (but annoying), to ensure that configurations won't silently break when the option gets removed in wheezy+1. The only issue with sbuild is that the tool was generating the old (but still valid and functional) configuration. This configuration will continue to work, and we'll have sbuild updated to use the new format in a few days. Regards, Roger -- .''`.
