There is already a debconf warning in place, when changing from <= 2.5.6 to >= 2.6.0 (about breaking backwards compatibility with the current automatic upgrade feature). I wanted to stress that previously, there was no user interaction (but acknowledging the warning) required, but when people will switch from Woody (last release) to Sarge (upcoming release) they will have to run the upgrade utiltity for all their databases manually, if automatic DB upgrade is dropped. However, I didn't want to say "Richard, please don't drop that code under any circumstances", but I wanted to notify Richard that upgrades directly from <= 2.5.6 to >= 2.6.0 will happen for Debian users that currently run Woody and use SQLite from Woody when they switch to Sarge. I don't really know how big this userbase is, however (I'd wildly guess: not too large). </wear> > The best way to accelerate a Windows machine is at 9.81 m/s^2 > May I stash that into my random .sig generator?
