Bug#708135: release-notes: Should mention change of aptitude config "Apt::AutoRemove::Suggests-Important"



Package: release-notes
Severity: normal

The new version of aptitude in wheezy changes the default value of option
"Apt::AutoRemove::Suggests-Important" from false to true. This significantly
changes behavior of package management with aptitude by not auto-removing all
suggested packages and it might cause confusion as it is not configurable with
ui (and is not present at generated config file). Missing documentation for
this change was resolved as bug http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-
bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=685310 , however as this is an important change
introduced by upgrade to wheezy, it should also be mentioned in release notes.
