This issue is caused by the migration of the binary field format to buffer [1]. Writing and reading from the DB affords the conversion from buffer to string. Would it be adequate to post for each package the link to the mercurial repository? The standard commit messages are linked to the reviews [1] and/or issue numbers in the bug tracker of tryton.org to provide easy tracking information. For this package the link can be found at [2]. What I did already per package is to summarize those commit messages as provided in the mercurial logs. Could you please just mark the messages, where you need more detailed information? NB: The Tryton project itself is very conservative with respect to bug fixes. They are always transplants from trunk (and in the case of version 2.2 from the higher stable version 2.4) and never require a database update. Before making their way into Debian they are tested by a wide public. The very low number of bug reports of Tryton packages in Debian can be seen as a hint for the stability of the software. For wheezy the Tryton maintainers even decided to not upload the current version 2.4, but to stick to 2.2 to be absolutely sure to get a real stable version into wheezy. This all to say, that a bugfix release in Tryton *never* will contain a feature, but is a real bugfix release. that can be applied at minimal risk.
