Hi Nathanael,

The second link you gave (the "squeeze" one) was the release note for Debian 6
(codename "Squeeze"). Since we have stopped support for Debian 6 long long
ago, its Release Note is only provided as a historical document and should not
be used anymore. It will not be modified as well.

If you are using the current Debian Stable (currently Debian 9 and that Debian
10 is going to be the stable version soon), you should always read the link
for release note with the name "stable" in it.

Thanks,
Boyuan Yang
