Bug#1121601: debian-policy: encourage keeping backwards compatibility with older releases past current minus one
> Upgrading from Buster to Bullseye is known to work with a small
> workaround that was documented in
I imagine there are many more issues with a skip upgrade from Debian
10 to Debian 12 than the one documented there.
I agree with those saying that the Debian Project should strongly
discourage skip upgrading.
However, it would be polite if upgrade handling (like Breaks/Replaces)
be kept until it has shipped in both the latest Debian stable release
and the latest Ubuntu LTS release.
Thank you,
Jeremy Bícha
