Now that Adam mentioned it I remember that I at least met this
removed-but-configured libdevmapper1.02 on each machine which tried
to convert to dependency based init scripts. (I think most other
issues I had came from home-grown init scripts without LSB headers.
-- And I also tend to purge removed packages; but not packages that
were both installed and removed automatically ...)

Suggesting to purge libdevmapper1.02 and maybe other
removed/configured packages in the release notes' "preparation"
section might indeed be helpful.

Hi,

We are sorry that we were not able to handle your contribution or
suggestion for changes to the release-notes. I am going over old bugs
and I am closing all the items that were suggested for the release-notes
of Debian releases before stretch. On the good side, some even appear to
have been applied, without the bug being closed.

Please don't hesitate to open a new bug if you think your suggestion is
still valuable for the release-notes of buster. If you do that, we'd
appreciate it when you try to summarize the issue properly when the
closed bug was more than a couple of messages.

Paul
