I would look in the changes/NEWS files under /usr/share/doc/pkgname, but
the trouble is you need to install them to see. :( I think the packages
search page allows you to look at individual files.
Obviously, this isn't important/production or you wouldn't be running
jessie! You could hold off updating untill you are satisfied of the
answer. Personally, I'd be emailing the maintainer about now to see if
there is a replacement package coming up?
These transitions may not happen all at once.
