Bug#703645: upstream support for upgrades
One important issue for this package will be the database upgrade
procedure between major releases of Debian
Does upstream provide a suitable schema update mechanism that can
upgrade users who only upgrade every 2 years, or do they only support
upgrades between each of their own consecutive releases and Debian users
may have to run such upgrades back-to-back?
Alternatively, should it simply refuse to run after package upgrade and
leave the user to manage the schema manually? Maybe README.Debian
should warn the users about the extent of support that will be provided
for their future upgrades so they can make an informed decision when
comparing it to other similar packages.
