It's Debian's place to decide Debian-defaults, though.

An upstream changelog is not exactly the place where the _user_ would expect
information about required configuration changes on a debian package,
to restore a feature that suddenly stopped working.
From the user's point of view a feature suddenly just broke. And
to the user that looks like a bug. So there should be an easy and
quick way to get information on it, without digging through upstream changelogs.

Yes, please document that somewhere with example config snippets to
get the old behavior back.

Well, and as the user, who uses it in the first place, I think the
old way was just fine. ;)
