That means that people who only ever upgrade via unattended-upgrades or other mechanisms that disable debconf/dpkg prompts etc aren't going to see the prompt. At work we disable them even when upgrading from one release to the next. I think that there are too many potential corner cases in automatically updating apt sources and that it is much simpler to subset non-free than require updates to apt sources. For how to announce the availability of the non-free/firmware subset, an apt hook that checks that installed packages from non-free only include packages with firmware or microcode in their names seems like a good idea, along with the usual info in the release notes etc. -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
