Bug#1111714: release-notes: Trixie enables pam_umask usergroups, which changes umask from 0022 to 0002
Package: release-notes
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: hartmans@debian.org
Dear Debian Documentation Team,
Trixie enables pam_umask usergroups by default, which changes the typical
umask from 0022 to 0002.
This was quite a surprise to me and is not documented in the Release Notes.

Could the libpam-modules.NEWS entry above be inserted into the
