Package: keepassx
Version: 2.0.3-1
Severity: important

After dist-upgrade of debian jessie to debian stretch, I've found out
that keepassx is unable to open my password database. It suggests to
import it from older format, and warns that this action is irreversible.

But keepass is cross-platform. Its main advantage over other password
managers  it allows me to
copy password database around between different devices  - computers,
smartphones, tablets. Just copy as a file, directly, using bluetooth,
LAN or USB-cable, without use of some
third-party network service (which should be considered insecure).

So I have to upgrade all my devices simultaneously if I want to switch
from one keepass 1.x to keepass 2.x database format.

It is not a decision which could be done automatically for user by
dist-upgade
