Would it make sense to recommend putting screen on hold and upgrading
it separately after the dist-upgrade is finished?  That wouldn't work
for something like udev or gdm3, but it sounds like the simplest
strategy for a "leaf" package like screen.

(We'll need material for the release notes eventually, but first
screen 4.1.0 is obviously going to need to put some warnings and
recommendations in a NEWS.Debian file.)
