Hi,

 Upgrading from Squeeze to Wheezy with fglrx-driver will break their 
 graphical environment since fglrx upstream dropped such old video card
 support from it, and now package maintainers provide such legacy support
 as fglrx-legacy-driver package(*).

 Unfortunately, it seems to be late to be included to Wheezy, so we
 should __warn__ to our users for it, in release note, at least. 

 Also, will push it to wheezy-backports and note it to release note seems
 to be reasonable, IMO.

No feedback since nearly two years and wheezy is stable for a long
time now. Closing, please reopen if you still want to add this to
the Wheezy release notes.
