The removal of the '686' flavour happened in wheezy and should not
be mentioned in the jessie release notes.

(There is another flavour change in jessie: '486' was replaced by
'586'.  But it's probably not worth noting as the CPU features
required have not changed, only the name has changed to reflect
reality.)
