I don't think that it did, I tried very hard to preserve all IDs as
they were. I guess you might have gotten confused perhaps, because the
script mapped IDs in upgrading-checklist from [0-9]* to s-[0-9]*, but
that used to be done implicitly by debiandoc-sgml before.

If you check the source of
<https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/upgrading-checklist.html>
you'll see that. :)
