Agreed, unfortunately release-notes is often not properly read.
Do not know how easy it is, but it would be nice to have some
config/preinst check in relevant packages to complain loudly before
package is upgraded to an incompatible version, allowing to abort
installation.
Adding such check in some way to stable to warn in advance would also be
nice.
