Package: upgrade-reports
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

The Jessie release notes do not warn users of the /gnucash/ package
that all their financial data will be automatically converted to a
format that is no longer readable to the /ledger/ package.

This is catastrophic.  It is very important that gnucash users be
warned that upgrading from wheezy to jessie will make their financial
data irreversably inaccessible to ledger.  There is no way to
downgrade gnucash once the damage is done.

The gnucash bug was filed under report 787576.  The release notes
should include a warning in the limitations section.
