Thanks for spotting this (very vaguely :D) obsolete comment. It seems
to echo my pu/remove-comment-about-volatile branch from September. ;)

I'm wondering whether we should have a pointer to some documentation
that would explain what that is. I seem to have this in my web browser
history;

  https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2011/03/msg00010.html

but there might better places, like this one?

  https://wiki.debian.org/StableUpdates

Looping in debian-release@, in case they want to comment.


Cheers,
