While I agree with you in general, I believe it's reasonable to close #310801 (the bug I reported on upgrading from Woody to Sarge on a Mips/Cobalt system), as the major part of the bug was resolved in the manner you suggest (updated release notes, description provided). The only thing that hadn't been addressed was the note that my particular kernel (custom compiled) didn't have tmpfs/shmfs in it, and that caused a bunch of warnings in /etc/init.d/mountvirtfs when it tried to mount /dev/shm. My suggestion was that the requirement for this file system be mentioned in the release notes (or somewhere else appropriate so people building their own kernels were aware of it). But since the upgrade worked anyway I don't think it's a big deal. >From my point of view, now that the Woody->Sarge upgrade QA cycle is over, you can close this (#310801) bug again.
