While I agree with you in general, I believe it's reasonable to close
#310801 (the bug I reported on upgrading from Woody to Sarge on a
Mips/Cobalt system), as the major part of the bug was resolved in the
manner you suggest (updated release notes, description provided).
The only thing that hadn't been addressed was the note that my
particular kernel (custom compiled) didn't have tmpfs/shmfs in it, and
that caused a bunch of warnings in /etc/init.d/mountvirtfs when it tried
to mount /dev/shm. My suggestion was that the requirement for this file
system be mentioned in the release notes (or somewhere else appropriate
so people building their own kernels were aware of it). But since the
upgrade worked anyway I don't think it's a big deal.

over, you can close this (#310801) bug again.
