  top: incompatible rcfile, you should delete '/home/madduck/.toprc'

I will not, and in some ways I consider this a release critical bug
report. I have been working with and developing my ~/.toprc file for
many years. Please do not expect me to ditch that work and have to
recreate my settings according to some new, vague changed rc file
format.

When a change like this happens and the previous rc file really
cannot be used anymore (why???), then I would at least expect some
instructions on

  a. what actually changed;
  b. what is no longer supported;
  c. how to migrate my configuration.

Please provide those, either in NEWS.Debian or a dedicated file
— and reference that from the error message.

Thanks,
