Bug#362222: needs to document that upgrading breaks PATH of /usr/bin/X11



Package: x11-common
Version: 1:7.0.10
Severity: normal

Now that /usr/X11R6/bin and /usr/bin/X11 do not point to the same place,
if a system has /usr/bin/X11 in its PATH, it will miss anything left in
/usr/X11R6/bin. This should at least be documented in NEWS.Debian
although it's easy to be bit by this as a non-admin user of a system
that is upgraded, who wouldn't see the message.
