Hi Release-Team, I wanted to make you aware of an issue with screen which will very likely be present when dist-upgrading from Squeeze to Wheezy inside a Screen session:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=644788 If upstream doesn't add some option to let a screen 4.1.0 client communicate with a screen 4.0.3 server, it won't be possible to reattach to a running 4.0.3 screen session if screen has been upgraded to 4.1.0 already. I still have some hope, but if there's really no chance, this is IMHO definitely something which should go into the release notes. Possible suggestions for the release notes: Use tmux instead of screen for the dist-upgrade. Not really a laudable note for screen, but I have currently no better idea. And even if upstream adds some backward compatibility command-line option, this option should be mentioned in the Release Notes anyway Anyway, I'll let you know when I uploaded a screen 4.1.0 package to unstable and which options we have then.
