Hello,
Please unblock package rdiff-backup
rdiff-backup is a sort of rsync-like backup tool. It happens that the
version that will be shipped in Bullseye (2.0.5) has a network protocol
that is incompatible with that of the version that was shipped in Buster
(1.2.8). The details are in https://bugs.debian.org/975270
What I thus did was to upload a 2.0.5 version to buster-backports, so
that people can safely independently upgrade the rdiff-backup package on
all their buster systems, before upgrading their systems to bullseye at
their convenience.
[ Reason ]
The changes proposed here is just to explain this in the NEWS file.
[ Impact ]
If the NEWS entry is not added, the users will have to google out why
they got their backup broken, or worse, not notice that their backup got
broken.
[ Tests ]
[ Risks ]
This is a documentation-only change.
[ Checklist ]
[X] all changes are documented in the d/changelog
[X] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
[X] attach debdiff against the package in testing

+rdiff-backup (2.0.5-2) unstable; urgency=medium
+
+ The network protocol of versions 1 and 2 of rdiff-backup are incompatible.
+ This means that you must be running the same version (either 1 or 2) of
+ rdiff-backup locally and remotely. Since Buster ships version 1.2.8 and
+ Bullseye ships version 2.0.5, upgrading only the local system or only the
+ remote system from Buster to Bullseye will break rdiff-backup runs between
+ the two.
+
+ For conveniency, version 2.0.5 of rdiff-backup is available in the
+ buster-backports distribution, see https://backports.debian.org/
+ This allows to first upgrade only the rdiff-backup package on Buster
+ systems, and then independently upgrade systems to Bullseye at your
+ convenience.
