Just for the record, I find it noteworthy that the direct cause of the removal was https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1076190. > So either: > The upgrade notes need to mention to move the file; or > Some package, possibly procps, needs to detect a changed configuration file > and move it to the correct location. The release notes definitely need to mention this; there have been multiple complaints about breakages (both at #1110184 and on various forums not specific to Debian). I have unsuccessfully tried to contact the Documentation Team using the #debian-doc IRC channel to bring attention to #1110184. --Samuel Plavec
