Because it's a breaking change, and very useful to know about before 
starting the upgrade process, at which point people haven't had a chance 
to read NEWS.Debian. The issue is very similar to e.g. the Dovecot 
configuration change that did get a mention in the Release Notes.

To avoid confusion in the future, are there guidelines that I can look 
up to find out what is supposed and not supposed to appear in the 
Release Notes?
