This is what I sent to Adrian recently; I'm reposting it here since I
think some kind of Release Notes would be nice:
If you do something worthwhile then write good Release Notes saying
which packages have been removed and listing better replacements if
there are any (e.g. upsd should be removed, replacement is nut and
possibly others). That would be our users a better service that
keeping packages around which are e.g. not even maintained upstream
anymore.
