--- Begin Message ---Package: release-notes Severity: normal Hi there, 'bout time to start contributing to the buster release notes. In my opinion the python-magic transition[1] is worth to be mentioned. If you disagree feel free to drop my input as well. Suggested wording: ====================================================================== The python-magic/python3-magic Python bindings for the libmagic file type detection library switched upstream and provide a broader set of functions now. A compatibility layer is included so applications relying on the old function set should not be harmed. ====================================================================== Aside, in the eight months since the switch I haven't seen even a single report about a regression, so consider "should not be harmed" somewhat an understatment.

I think I agree with Adrian on this. As nobody chimed in since September, I decided to close this bug without adding it, sorry. Paulsignature.asc
