Package: release-notes
Version: lenny
Severity: normal

Hi,

It almost goes without saying, but at the end of the
upgrade process it can be a good idea to purge the
configuration files of those packages that are no
longer installed.  Something like:

Examine leftover config files:
  aptitude search ~c
And then if all the config files are no longer needed:
  aptitude purge $(aptitude search ~c -F "%p")

Where this can really be important is purging the
old linux kernels.  Sometimes /boot can fill up.

It's probably a good idea to do a aptitude search ~c
before starting the upgrade as well, and either keep
the list for later comparison when the upgrade is
done or cleanup before starting the upgrade.

It seems that there are no more remarks to the proposed rewording, so I
am taking the liberty of closing this bug now.

Thanks,
