It's documented in NEWS.Debian. It looks like I somehow forgot to write an entry in the aptitude NEWS file, sorry about that. > This breaks pkgsync, > which no longer is able to keep systems up-to-date; it relies on the previous > behavior.

Can't you just add "?upgradable" as the first argument following full-upgrade? It seems to me like that should give you the old behavior back while being backwards-compatible (and if I'm wrong, I need to fix NEWS.Debian, since that's what it tells people to do).
