Oh, yes, in fact this looks like a package-specific issue of the sort
that I was just saying we didn't yet have any of to list at the end of
issues.dbk, but would we want it there or somewhere else?

It looks good, but of course as soon as I start thinking about how
you'd add the markup I start reorganising...

  <title>sendmail downtime during upgrade</title>
  <para>
    In contrast to normal upgrades of
    <systemitem role=package>sendmail</systemitem>, during the upgrade of
    buster to bullseye the sendmail service will be stopped, causing more
    downtime than usual. For generic advice on reducing downtime see
    <xref linkend="services-downtime"/>.
