Hi

The recent update of vim-scripts to unstable (and to be released with
bullseye) contains the following NEWS file:

----cut---------cut---------cut---------cut---------cut---------cut-----
vim-scripts (20201113) unstable; urgency=low

  The addons provided by this package are now managed by Vim's native
  "package" functionality rather than vim-addon-manager.  Please follow these
  steps to ensure a smooth upgrade:

  * Before upgrading, run "vam remove <addon>" for any addon in this package
    that has been installed with "vam install <addon>".  Adjust the command
    as necessary for system-wide installed addon.
  * After upgrading, add "packadd! <addon>" to your vimrc for any addon that
    you want to use.  The addon name can be found in the package description
    or the list of directories under /usr/share/vim-scripts.

  Using VCSCommand as an example:
  * "vam remove vcscommand" will remove the vim-addon-manager setup for the
    addon.
  * Adding "packadd! VCSCommand" to your vimrc will enable (neo)vim to find
    and use the addon.

Might it be worth of mentioning this in the release notes, so users
can prepare in advance to move this handling to vim's native package
functionality?

Regards,
Salvatore
