When I install non-security post-release updates, I generally read the
changelog entries so I have an idea what's changed on my system. It would be
nice if there could be some text that actually explains what's going on. I
don't find this very helpful:
ifupdown (0.7~alpha5.1ubuntu5.1) oneiric-proposed; urgency=low
* Cherry pick fixes for label handling from upstream git (LP: #876829):
- http://anonscm.debian.org/hg/collab-maint/ifupdown/rev/100d6f75b985
- http://anonscm.debian.org/hg/collab-maint/ifupdown/rev/2d171c8da8e5
- http://anonscm.debian.org/hg/collab-maint/ifupdown/rev/f9cef973859e
- http://anonscm.debian.org/hg/collab-maint/ifupdown/rev/80a68bbbd45d
* Update test suite accordingly.
I'm sure there are others, but this one I just hit, so I'm mentioning it as an
example of what I think is a problem that's not very rare. I don't mean to
call out any individuals.
