That is indeed a bug in the release notes for Debian 12 to 13 upgrade. The notes should be compatible with the previous Debian version's setup. The release bug is worth fixing because there are probably still lots of Debian 12 systems to be upgraded. It has been reported as: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1129662 Luckily this bug does not apply anymore to the next version of the notes, for Debian 13 to 14 upgrade. So its importance lessens all the time. I hope the current notes are fixed, though. -- /// Teemu Likonen - .-.. https://www.iki.fi/tlikonen/ // OpenPGP: DD3B8E8ABD28B98176E6A7CCCC9A5E615FCC1D93 / old key: 6965F03973F0D4CA22B9410F0F2CAE0E07608462
