Package: release-notes
Severity: wishlist

In the upgrade docs:

http://www.debian.org/releases/jessie/amd64/release-notes/ch-upgrading.en.html#upgrade-preparations

"The distribution upgrade should be done either locally from a
textmode virtual console (or a directly connected serial terminal), or
remotely via an ssh link."

While the first time I did a jessie upgrade, my X session exploded and
I was left with a half-upgraded system (recovered fine, however), now
I just upgraded a fairly regular laptop to the latest jessie release,
through a full gnome session, without any interruption or issues.

So I think that wording could be changed to a recommendation. It will
make upgrading Debian more accessible to users less familiar with the
"textmode virtual consoles" (which is, I suspect, a surprisingly large
proportion). :)

Thanks!
