Please not not not not not in a debconf note. Debconf notes are
Evil..:-).
If this is the way either package goes, please don't even consider
using debconf to "warn" users for that. NEWS.Debian is the place where
this should go. See debconf-devel(7) (where this is not /me talking
but Joey Hess)
<debconf-devel reader hat ON>
I'm really not comfortable with the nodejs package virtually enforcing
the maintainers of node to deal with a transition. That's my rough
feeling after reading part of this thread. I think it is a very bad
idea (marketically speaking) to make ham radio users mad about Debian,
even if we have good reasons for that)
