Hi,
I am a bit confused as to why you reassigned this to release-notes, when
the remaining issue seems to be related to the debian-installer (which
has its own documentation package called "installation-guide").
For the record, the /upgrade/ variant of this issue /is already/
documented in the release notes (and has been so for at least 2 weeks).
Did you mean to reassign this to the installation-guide?
Thanks,
~Niels
