Yes, changing that in the short term seem quite unwise, so I guess a
rewritten deb822 version of apt-setup, post-release, is what we'll need.

Has anybody talked to the apt maintainers whether they would be willing to disable the deprecation warnings for the release, allowing one (more?) cycle where the two formats are equal citizens? The deprecation warnings we had in the last months has stirred us up, the installer is moving now, and the other packages as well¹, so the focus could be shifted to a smooth release now and going back to the nag warnings after the release?

¹ eventually even ansible's apt module might support deb822 format
